The official parser simply doesn't support strings of BYs, period.  I was
wrong to say it thinks they're cmene; in fact, it thinks they are brivla,
since there is a CC within the first five letters after y's are removed.
The fact that no vowels are left is something that it doesn't notice.

OTOH, "by.sy.dy. .e xy.papa" works fine.  By the Book, BY has to be
pause-separated from what follows it.  It *probably* doesn't cause a
problem when the next thing is another BY, but the results in other
cases are unpredictable.
