Elomi has three 'subclasses' of name (and, for that matter, other
lexicals): native Elomi, which follow the morphological rules of Elomi
perfectly; completely foreign, which break the grammatical class and
word boundary rules; and quasi-foreign, which use foreign phonemes
and/or disallowed consonant clusters (which is any except two-letter
clusters that begin with 'n'). (I need better terms for these two
classes of 'foreign'.) See sample sentences 85 & 86.

So "America" could be "emerika" and be quasi-foreign, but I would
think that it would need a real Elomi name, and "emelika" would fit
fine.
