Cmene are Lojbanized names.  Cmene must be spelled phonetically according to the Lojban style  (it is important to remember: W --> U, Y --> I, Sh --> C, Ch --> Tc, J (English) --> Dj, J (French) --> J, etc. if using the ''latmo lerselcmi'' (Latin alphabet)).  All cmene must terminate with a glottal stop [.], and must additionally have a consonant immediately precede the glottal stop.  If the name begins with a vowel (which includes "''Y''"), then it must also be immediately preceded by a glottal stop.  If the cmene does not terminate with a consonant (excluding the glottal stop), then one must be inserted.  The common convention is to insert an "''S''" at the end.  However, any consonant will work.
