The PEG morphology allows the eight triphthongs, and CLL has at least
one example with triphthongs. So I would say it's a feature rather
than a bug.

For a CCV syllable, you can write the second consonant inside the
first one, and the vowel inside the second consonant. For a CVC
syllable, you can write the second consonant to the right of the vowel
inside the first consonant. That way each syllable is always a single
block, and you can immediately tell how many syllables there are.
(This would effectively become a syllabary.)
