Following this rule as written on {ladjAndy} would give {la djan dy}, which is wrong. The consonant has to be preceded by a vowel or at the beginning of a piece. > Note that the Cy-type lerfu words will NEVER come before the other > lerfu word pieces in a breath-group - the "abu" and "y'y" types - > since they begin with vowels, they MUST be preceded by pauses; and Cy > followed by anything but another Cy must be followed by a pause > (because "y" is used as glue in lujvo, it could cause resolvability > problems if not separate; e.g. /micybusmAbru/ would not uniquely re- > solve). > b) If the "y" is preceded by "V'" or "y'" (e.g. /y'y/), break before > the "V", and the "V'y" is resolved as a lerfu word.

What are {iy} and {uy} reserved for? They can occur only in cmevla. phma
