The only restrictions imposed on > cmene are the impermissible-consonant-pair rules. Still confused. Let us consider some vovel pair that doesn't form lojban diphtong - for example, "ae". Is cmavo "xae" possible? Is cmene "xaes" possible? If answers are different, where is all this stuff documented? P.S. It seems that there are some bugs in my lojban.vim because of my misunderstanding of all this stuff. Before fixing them I am trying to realize what exact rules are. I'm sorry if my questions are trivial or boring - all this trifles became important when you are explaining them to computer. -- Cyril Slobin
