skamrxuebsaita has to be something like skamrxuebzaita, because bs is
not a valid consonant pairing.

I'm not sure whether the comma in datnrxril,odio is valid. It seems
very reasonable in this case, as it's certainly where the syllable break
occurs. I hadn't considered before that commas could appear between
consonants and vowels like this - more jbofi'e tweaking is going to be
needed I fear...

Does anyone have a definitive ruling on whether the comma is valid in
this kind of case?

Cheers
Richard
