"la stamina". Similarly, "melongena" would break into "me longena" so I took the first "e"
out. But "kapsiku" (x1 is a chile/bell pepper/cayenne/paprika of
species/variety x2) doesn't break because "ps" is a non-initial cluster.

When I listed the nightshades, I said "starmoni" for "jimsonweed" to get a
non-initial "rm" in the word. Is "stramoni" a valid fu'ivla?
