I see nothing wrong with using a comma that way. A comma indicating 
syllabication always appears inside a word. The only caveat when using a comma 
to indicate an incidental clause, or end of subordinate clause or whatever 
sort of comma between words, is that you can't omit the period indicating a 
required pause. So I would write, in dotside, "la .kualalumpur., noi raltca la 
.mejgug., cu broda".
