it is acceptable to do this:
1. say [e]
2. make a dental stop
3. open the back of the nose, keeping the teeth stopped
4. open the tongue at the teeth
5. say [u].
If you release the [t] before starting the [n], that's okay too, but if you
release the [b] before starting the [m], you may be misheard as "jubyme".

equivalent to "mi klama ta .i mi klama lo zarci". ("fe" in the second
