As text, with no consonant clusters, and no consonant followed by a space, they should break before each consonant into cmavo. However, since several of the vowel combinations have no defined Lojban pronunciation, they cannot be renderings of a Lojban speech stream, and hence are errors that should be rejected out of hand as invalid input. The first and the fourth appear to be pronounceable, and hence should be cmavo sequences. lojbab -- lojbab lojbab@lojban.org Bob LeChevalier, President, The Logical Language Group, Inc. 2904 Beau Lane, Fairfax VA 22031-1303 USA 703-385-0273 Artificial language Loglan/Lojban: http://www.lojban.org
