I was asking about the Book's proposal, in which a lujvo cannot end with a 
fu'ivla, so {banryglauka} is invalid. I was thinking of a word in which a 
fu'ivla rafsi is both preceded and followed by rafsi, such as 
{ba'orglaukyne'o}. The Book doesn't say what to do if a fu'ivla rafsi is 
preceded by a CVV rafsi, so I wasn't sure.

In my proposal, a rafsi that immediately precedes a fu'ivla rafsi must end in 
a consonant, so if you want to use a cmavo with no CVC rafsi, you have to use 
{zei}. I hadn't thought of {ba'oryglauka}; if it works, and all cmavo that 
have rafsi have a CVV or CVC rafsi, it would be a way to make lujvo with 
them. (I'll check later. I have an errand to run.)
