"Mane" isn't the name of the group. One of the forums on the site is the Mane 
Forum.

All brivla have to have their second consonant either in a cluster or followed 
by "y" and a consonant. Is this implied by the four rules? What 
about "soiombo" and "peuence"? Do you consider "aierne" or "a'ierne" 
or "ai'erne" valid?
