I would prefer to have them around names. I follow the "double dot"
convention: {la .djan.} but also {la djan.} should be ok.
I wouldn't drop the last one as a pause is mandatory after a cmevla.

I agree that we shouldn't have two translations (one with {ti} and the
other with {vi}) but I would not prefer one over the other. I would
rather let the transator decide.

Yep, I know I tend to use it {le} whenever I talk specifically of
something and {lo} when I'm not. I guess I should be more careful in
my judgement....

Another point is {lonu} versus {lo nu} (and cmavo clusters in
general}. I've no strong opinion on that.
