Right. It doesn't make much difference in this case,
but for me that would be {sma,cr,ko,ba,iu}. I don't allow 
any syllable to start with a bare vowel. At the very least 
you need a glottal stop (.), an apostrophe (') or a 
semi-consonant (i/u) to start a syllable. The glottal stop 
only at the beginning of a word, and the apostrophe never 
at the beginning of a word, of course.

Right, I only allow a semi-consonant to follow at most a
single consonant at the start of a syllable. This is not my 
definitive proposal yet though.
