Hang on, I think I was a bit confused. So, the regex boils down to C{2}(VCC)*V?C? so you can only have one or three consonants at the end.
Post Left Garf Hunter
Post Left Garf Hunter
00:45
No you can have two
if both the last V and the last C are not there
Riker
Riker
you can skip the final consonant
yea
El'endia Starman
El'endia Starman
Ooooh that's true.
Post Left Garf Hunter
Post Left Garf Hunter
C{2}(VCC)*V?C would be 1 or 3
