Re: [lojban] Maximum allowed consonant cluster length in fu'ivla?

In chapter 3 of the Ref. Grammar, there is a statement
In Lojban, doubled consonants are excluded altogether, and clusters
are limited to two or three members, except in Lojbanized names.
"Members" = "consonants", but excludes syllabic consonants. 3.4 and
3.6 should be corrected to this effect.
cidjrspageti
which contain clusters of 4 consonants,
Actually 5 consonants. But the syllabication is "cidj,r,spageti",
so there are never more than two non-syllabic consonants in a row.
