Yet Another Try at fixing this issue.
It seems to me that if we don't allow pauses *in* cmene (i.e. we
allow one cmene at a time after each la/doi/whatever), the problem
goes away because a cmene is the maximally long consonant+pause
terminated string after la/doi/whatever.
If people really need to express both a first and last name, they
can concat them or use ce'o la or something.
Regardless of whether you like the idea or not, I'd like other
people to let me know if they think it actually works.
