One can omit the space between a brivla and preceding cmavo, but if one omits 
all spaces, some phrases are ambiguous, such as {letamjycausmani} ("the 
colobus" or "the thumbless monkey") and {lenupretrocange} ("to be a family 
farm", "the promising control-farm", "to be a person-controlling farm"). Of 
course with stresses indicated, these can be distinguished.
