The most it would create is multiple accents. If there were two groups of 
Lojbanists and one used "fi'u" as the rafsi of "frinu" while the other used 
it as the rafsi for "cfipu", or one used "malpigi" to mean a fruit while the 
other knew it only as a word for an insect's kidney, or one always used "cu" 
between "mi" and the selbri and the other didn't, then you'd have dialects.
