This is pretty much what I thought the rule would be. Now for another spanner in the works. What if "la" is preceded by "y"? e.g. does "cydoispat" break up into "cy doi spat"? I guess the answer is not, since the latter would strictly be "cy. doi spat.", so there would be a pause before "doi" to save us. -- Richard P.
