[lojban] Question about lujvo-making

["hfroark" <hfroark@bigmailbox.net>]

I'm having trouble making sense of rule 5 in the lujvo-making
algorithm in 
http://www.lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter4.html#s11

It says to test all forms with the pattern "CVC ... CVC + X". To be
perfectly clear does this mean that all the rafsi in the "..." 
portion must be CVC forms? 

The second part says that: 'X must either be a CVCCV long rafsi that 
happens to have a permissible initial pair as the consonant cluster, 
or is something which has caused a "y"-hyphen to be installed between 
the previous CVC and itself by one of the above rules'. If X is not 
one of those does that mean the test terminates with no changes 
needed?

The 5c says: 'Install a "y"-hyphen at the first such joint'. Is that 
the the first from right-to-left or left-to-right? If it is the 
right-to-left then what is done if the first such joint is between 
the X portion and it's immediately preceding CVC and a "y"-hyphen is 
already at that joint?
