I have no problem with that, but it's not a regular consonant.
I'm all for allowing anything that would better align lojban names with
a person's real name (in their native language). But how does the
apostrophe help? How would you pronounce it?
As Elmo said, why not allow also the comma? I think that's very useful,
as then we can have {la meri,} which is closer to "Mary" then {la meiris}
Vice versa. I tried to produce an absurd analogy. "," is
syllable/diphtong separator. It's pretty nonsensical (IMHO) to try to
separate something from something which does not exist.
The pause is exactly the same kind of nonsense -- you have to add a
pause after a name anyway, so adding TWO pauses would be .. well, nonsense.
