Rather than, say, what?

I thought you could add any number of cmavo to the beginning of any 
brivla since the beginning of the brivla was unambiguously defined by 
the consonant cluster? So for me {mimiklama} = {mi mi klama} (and 
{mimikla} would be {mi mikla} with an unknown gismu *mikla).

And otherwise tosmabru-words wouldn't exist, unless I'm 
misunderstanding something.

Currently, what follows doesn't have to be a cluster as long as a 
cluster follows "soon" after - e.g. {mijimpe} is {mi jimpe} even though 
the cluster "mp" isn't immediately after "mi". Are you proposing to 
change this so that {mijimpe} is now unparseable or a fu'ivla?
