They are simple, but not trivial to formalize. They are similar to
what I used for vowel sequences in Lojban, except I couldn't forbid ii
and uu because they are already words, and I had the additional
restriction that sequences ending in a semi-vowel could only end in
ai, au, ei, oi, not in eu, iu, ou, ui. Basically S?V(SV)*S?, with V
being (a | e | i | o | u) and S being (i | u), plus the restrictions
on the final S. Formalizing the restrictions, simple as they are, can
make the grammar look quite messy.
