How would you Lojbanize "Frankfurt"? To me the best option seems
to be
".frankyfuryt."
There are two types of cmevla in Lojban: jbocme, which consist only
of lojbanic syllables, and zifcme, which are just a string of
phonemes that don't violate any phonotactic constraints (e.g.
voicing rules, invalid clusters etc) but ignore syllabic structure.
{.frankfurt.} is a valid zifcme, but not a jbocme, because it
contains syllables whose coda contains more than one consonant.
Since {.frankfurt.} is a zifcme, and zifcme are a subclass of cmevla, there's no problem here.
