There is a proposal, known as the Dot-Side, that addresses this restriction. The proposal is to require a [.] at the beginning of all cmene, which would allow the [la lai, la'i, doi]. Examples: Atlanta la atlyntas. (Current) la .atlantas. (Dot-Side) Germany la .daitclant. (Current) la .doitclant. (Dot-Side) Personally, since there must be a preceding pause before cmene UNLESS it is preceded by [la, lai, la'i, doi], taking out the exception (i.e. UNLESS....) is a minor quibble, especially in view of the benefit gained by no longer disallowing the four mentioned within cmene. -- mu'o mi'e .topy'at. .i.a'o.e'e ko klama le bende pe denpa bu
