I will assume you wish to have a rule that does not require

normally used like 'hoi' in Loglan to precede a name used as a
vocative.
Yes.
If this be true, then the parser can strip off the introducer,
and the remainder up to the consonant and pause is a name (I
presume that a person without a speech defect would not pause
in the middle of a name). The LaPlace problem was in
sequential names. For sequential names we used the Loglan word
for hyphen 'ci', which added 'ci' to the list of name markers.
You know, I think that actually works. Or, at least, I can't
think of any problems off the top of my head.
Call the Lojban name hyphen xi'i; laSTIvn.xi'iLAItl. has no
ambiguity I can see.
However, {doilaSTIvn.} is ambiguous still. It's not a particularily
hard ambiguity to fix (strip *all* name markers off the front), but
still. Does Loglan allow that construct?
