The reference grammar, chapter 4, section 2, example 2.8, says that to
pronounce "le RE NANmu", you need to say "le RE. NANmu". The pause is
required, it says, because otherwise it could confuse someone about
NAN being the first syllable of nanmu. But isn't this ambiguity taken
care of by nanmu's CVC/CV form? Why is the pause necessary in
addition?
