But what about {sicyskaldunybau}?

How would you lex this?:

What is necessary depends on the method - valfendi requires a pause between Cy
and the following word that has CVV, CV'V, or CCV in it, unless that word is
a cmegadri followed by a cmevla or a cmevla preceded by a cmegadri, in which
case the cmegadri is broken off on both sides. Me, if the Cy is followed by
{bu}, I put the pause after {bu}.
