Until now it is always legal to pause at any word break.  If a pause
is to become significant there then "ybu" must become a single word so
that it is not permitted to pause in the middle of it.  That doesn't
introduce any ambiguity, but does complicate the morphology.

I think I'd better do a proper analysis of the morphology, soon, before
it gets any more complicated.
