In cmavo, yes. But when you consider lujvo and fu'ivla, especially lujvo with
fu'ivla rafsi in them, you have to check whether the y-hyphens are necessary
and whether something can be decomposed into rafsi with or without a
consonant at the front removed, and the end of the brivla is marked, not by
something simple such as a consonant, but by the stress, with an unstressed
syllable (or two, if there's a 'y' present) after the stressed one.
