4.9 Rules for inserting pauses
Summarized in one place, here are the rules for inserting pauses between Lojban words:
- Any two words may have a pause between them; it is always illegal to pause in the middle of a word, because that breaks up the word into two words.
- Every word ending in a consonant must be followed by a pause. Necessarily, all such words are cmene.
