I'm not talking about what should and should not be allowed. All I'm saying is that in Lojban, {ii}, is pronounced "yee", and {i} is pronounced "ee".

But no one disputes those pronunciations.  What's being discussed is whether it is a *good idea* to use it in fu'ivla like suggested {dzombii}.  It was already pointed out that {ii} is difficult for many globally.   In fact, {ii} is very marginal even in Lojban.  TTBOMK it was totally kept out of native vocabulary except for the interjection {.ii}, which I think was wise.  It'd probably be best to generally keep it and {uu} out of fu'ivla too.
