PEG Morphology Algorithm

I don't know what happened to the rest of what I had written...
Let's try again:
CVV-rafsi <- consonant vowel h? vowel
which allows for example {voe} as a rafsi. This is like
{vo'e}, of rafsi form but not actually assigned.
The alternative would be to make the rule:
CVV-rafsi <- consonant (vowel h vowel / a i / a u / e i / o i)
So for example {voebra} will then be rejected as a lujvo form,
but allowed as a fuhivla.
The choice has more drastic consequences for other words:
If {voebra} is of lujvo form, then {zvoebra} fails the slinku'i
test and so is not a valid fuhivla, otherwise, it is a valid fuhivla.
Conversely, if {voebra} is a valid lujvo, so is {tozvoebra}.
Otherwise {tozvoebra} breaks down as {to zvoebra}.
My preference at the moment is to allow these pseudo-rafsi and
pseudo-lujvo because that makes the rules simpler. Any other
opinions?
