In my experimental speedtalk-type language X-3, all proper names begin and
end with a glottal stop, which doesn't occur elsewhere in the language.
So if you see a glottal stop, everything that follows is a proper name until
you hit upon another glottal stop, beyond which everything are ordinary
morphemes again. Proper names are the only class of morphemes in X-3 that are
more than one phoneme long.
