Yes, I see now. I've forgot this. What is funny: CLL forbids {ndj} in
Chapter 3 but suggests {djaNDJonz.} as a valid Lojbanization of "John
Jones" in Chapter 4.

In fact the rules for consonant triples and longer clusters in CLL seems
to be somewhat contradictory. AFAIK BPFK is working toward much
simpler (and restrictive) rules, but I am not deep in this matter
myself.
