Inserting glottal stops between words is always allowed.

That cannot happen. The stress is on the first syllable of "uiski": {la 
uiski ui}. If you leave out the spaces, you get {lauėskiui}, which can 
only fragment into la uiski ui because:
1) "lauėski" can't be a single word, because the stress is on UIski, and 
the la falls off due to tosmabru
2) the trailing "ui" can not be part of uiski because again the stress 
makes everything after the next syllable fall off. Also, the u of "ui" 
cannot be part of uiski (*"uiskiu") because that's not a legal word 
(remember that it would have to be pronounced [wiskiw], which is 
illegal. And the i couldn't possibly be seperate either, because [i] 
alone doesn't constitute a legal lojban word, as Lojban words can't 
begin in a vowel.
