Lojban's morphophonology disallows a voiced stop/fricative consonant to 
be adjacent to a voiceless consonant. The -y- hyphen is required between 
siv- and -tavla in order to prevent the formation of the -vt- cluster, 
which is an illegal cluster (two stop/fricative consonants differing in 
voiceness are next to each other).
As a result, the correct lujvo form is {sivytavla}, or better, 
{sivyta'a} (-ta'a- is a rafsi of {tavla}).
