The period represents a mandatory pause, with no specified length; a glottal stop (IPA <phrase role="IPA">[ʔ]</phrase>) is considered a pause of shortest length. A pause (or glottal stop) may appear between any two words, and in certain cases &ndash; explained in detail in <xref linkend="section-pauses"/> &ndash; must occur. In particular, a word beginning with a vowel is always preceded by a pause, and a word ending in a consonant is always followed by a pause.

The sumti in <xref linkend="example-random-id-qLgw"/> and <xref linkend="example-random-id-qLHn"/> operate exactly like the similar uses of <valsi>la</valsi> and <valsi>lai</valsi> in <xref linkend="example-random-id-PrGp"/> and <xref linkend="example-random-id-H8z5"/> respectively. The only difference is that these descriptors are followed by Relojban name-words.

There are certain limitations on the form of name-words in Relojban. In particular, they cannot contain the letter-sequences (or sound-sequences) <valsi>la</valsi>, <valsi>lai</valsi>, or <valsi>doi</valsi> unless a consonant immediately precedes within the name. Reciprocally, every name not preceded by <valsi>la</valsi>, <valsi>lai</valsi>, <valsi>la'i</valsi>, or <valsi>doi</valsi> must be preceded by a pause instead:

In general, <valsi>doi</valsi> needs no translation in English (we just use names by themselves without any preceding word, although in poetic styles we sometimes say <quote>Oh X</quote>, which is equivalent to <valsi>doi</valsi>). One may attach an attitudinal to <valsi>doi</valsi> to express various English vocatives.
