A predicate with completely unclear place structure. How about 
"sapir.zei.uorf"?

I oppose this merge both before and after the baseline.

".paris.rom." is identical to ".paris rom.". Both are one cmene composed of 
two cmevla. ".paris,rom." is identical to ".parisrom.". Both are one single 
cmevla.

Taking Côte d'Ivoire as an example, ".kot.divuar." and ".kot divuar." are the 
same, whereas ".kot,divuar." and ".kotdivuar." are both invalid because a 
voiced stop cannot be next to a voiceless stop.
