OK, I'm modifying my rules to bring them in line with that.

Another question:

CLL says:

(1) "It is always legal to use the apostrophe (IPA h) sound in
pronouncing a comma."

(2) "Commas are never required: no two Lojban words differ solely
because of the presence or placement of a comma."

(3) "There exist 16 diphthongs in the Lojban language. ... Diphthongs
always constitute a single syllable."

This seems to lead to contradiction. If {kanku,a} can be
pronounced like {kanku'a} by (1) and the comma is not required
by (2) so it is equivalent to {kankua}. How many different
words are among {kanku'a}, {kanku,a} and {kankua}, and which
are they?
