I believe that the PEG grammar does not forbid capitalization
outside of cmene, which the CLL implies.  It might actually be
ok to properly mark stress outside of a cmene, I'm not super
clear.  But yeah, the PEG grammor does not distinguish between
capital- and lower-case lerfu.

I think the two examples you cited, {cu'uko'aBAI*} and {da'aremoiMOI*},
are a parsing error.  The BAI* and MOI* are the second column in the
file.  Did I send it that way, or did that happen on your end?

The * there indicates that the cmavo cluster is not actually of the
indicated selma'o, but acts as if it were.

I believe all of these are a single class, those being lujvo with
impermissible consonant clusters (ff, cv, kg, and cs).  When
constructing lujvo from rafsi, impermissible consonant clusters must
be buffered with 'y'.  The CLL section discussing this is here:

  "The lujvo-making algorithm"

Thank you!

Indeed!
