What other terminators would you use for {lo} and {nu}? :)

As far as clusters go, I only cluster two things - words which
actually change the meaning of each other in some way when they are
adjacent (this pretty much only applies to NAI), and numbers.

Everything else I leave unclustered, for quite a few reasons. For one,
I find that I can read it better when they are separated. For two,
I've encountered a number of people who have assumed that the meanings
of the words actually do change, or that a new entity is somehow
created when the words are clustered. (Part of this might derive from
the ma'oste, where a lot of potentially helpful common clusters are
specifically defined.) And finally, it does make it easier for new
people who are still learning and trying to memorize what words mean
and do what if the words are separated.
