I am having difficulty in working out how {la .ogYsty.} can misparse
in such a way as to make it illicit. I can't find any way of
breaking it down into smaller chunks.

Other examples:

la .olbyni.
la cropcy.
la kadiu.
la to,ori.

The same question goes for {la stylanan.} and {la stailanan}.

Given that we want want the phonological structure of cmevla to
be as unconstrained as possible, was there any reason why the
rule wasn't something like "break the string up into pause-
delimited chunks, and then parse those chunks into the 
smallest possible licit words"?
