We can group vowel pairs as follows:

1- ai au ei oi
Permitted in cmavo, fu'ivla and cmene.

2- ia ie ii io iu ua ue ui uo uu
Permitted in cmavo, fu'ivla and cmene word initially.
Should they be permitted after a consonant?
Should they be permitted after '?
Should they be permitted in some but not all of cmavo, fu'ivla or cmene?

3- aa ae ao ea ee eo eu oa oe oo ou
Should they be permitted at all?
Should they be permitted exclusively in cmavo, fu'ivla or cmene?

4- iy uy
Permitted in cmene only. Reserved as a hyphen.

5- ay ey oy ya ye yi yo yu
Should they be permitted at all even in cmene?

6- yy
Permitted in isolation, equivalent to a single y.

I would like to hear as many opinions as possible on this.
Should we have rules as general as possible for all types of words,
or a different rule for each type?
Should we tend to more restrictive or more permissive rules? Where
is the right balance?

Depending on what we do with groups 2 and 3 we can then see
what to do with longer clusters. Obviously if we don't allow
{ae}, it would make no sense to allow {aei} for example.

Opinions?
