Ah, that looks like an excellent idea.  The three forbidden syllables
in cmevla seem a rather awkward restriction, much more arbitrary than
the rest of the morphology, and the discussion you pointed at shows
that it's turned out to be difficult to apply correctly in practice.
Difficult for many to fully understand, even.  Mandatory /./ at the
beginning of cmevla will be *much* easier to get right.
