Here are the definitions of consonants and vowels from the PEG file:


 consonant <- voiced
            / unvoiced
            / syllabic

 syllabic <- l / m / n / r

 voiced <- b / d / g / j / v / z
 unvoiced <- c / f / k / p / s / t / x

 vowel <- a / e / i / o / u

You'll have to ask another question.  :-)

ybu is valid, it being the y letteral in selma'o BY (I believe it has
also been two words, Y+BU, in the past though I could be wrong about
that.  For your purposes either definition is probably ok.)

Will you quote the phrase you're referring to regarding pauses?  I
see this one:

 The cmavo “.u'e” begins with a vowel, and like all words
 beginning with a vowel, requires a pause (represented by “.”)
 before it.

I understand "represented" to be different than "required."  In
particular, these lines are all the same:

 .a'e.i'o
 a'e.i'o
 a'e i'o
 .a'e i'o

In that '.' and ' ' are the same.  In section 3.3 there is this:

 Technically, the period is an optional reminder to the reader of a
 mandatory pause that is dictated by the rules of the language;
 because these rules are unambiguous, a missing period can be
 inferred from otherwise correct text. Periods are included only as
 an aid to the reader.

 A period also may be found apparently embedded in a word. When
 this occurs, such a written string is not one word but two,
 written together to indicate that the writer intends a unitary
 meaning for the compound. It is not really necessary to use a
 space between words if a period appears.

Given my understanding of the above, I believe your requiring a
period to represent this pause to be in error.

I will rerun my baseline and reply back with it.
