Following this rule as written on {ladjAndy} would give {la djan dy}, which 
is wrong. The consonant has to be preceded by a vowel or at the beginning of 
a piece.

Um, what is {a'y}?

>     c)  If the "y" is preceded by an "i" or "u" ("iy" and "uy" are

>     d)  If the "y" is preceded by a vowel (V) other than "i" or "u", the

What are {iy} and {uy} reserved for? They can occur only in cmevla.
