It is trivial to modify the current parser to accept new cmavo for
existing selma'o, at least if they have CVV or CV'V shapes, and fairly
easy to add a new shape as well.  Indeed, the parser can be made to
emit a cmavo list (without definitions, of course) using the -c switch,
reflecting its beliefs about cmavo->selma'o mapping.

Most languages are dramatically underdescribed, and at least one is 
dramatically overdescribed.  Still other languages are simultaneously 
overdescribed and underdescribed.  Welsh pertains to the third category.
