Yes, I don't see why not. The current morphology algorithm takes a
string without any consonant clusters and breaks it before each
consonant into cmavo, and the above cmavo pass without a problem.
Also, I think that there's no reason that words like "bia" /bja/,
"bue" /bwe/, etc., are invalid, for the same reason as above.
While we're on morphology, the morphology algorithm
(http://www.lojban.org/files/software/BRKWORDS.TXT) 2.3)c) says that
".iy." and ".uy." are "reserved" (not that they're an error). Reserved
for what? Otherwise ".uy." could be a good lerfu word for the letter
'w'.
