Subject: More lexing curiosities - la'i within cmene?

The reference grammar makes specific mention of "la", "lai" and "doi"
not being allowed within cmene if preceded by a vowel.

Why does the same rule not apply to la'i? For example, considering the
following word

bala'ispat.

doesn't it break up into

ba la'i spat.

?
