Sorry, I can't help with that specific request.  As powerful as  
regular expressions are, they haven't yet found a place in my toolbox.

I wrote a program many years ago that did it "by hand", breaking down  
Klingon words into syllables that could then be run through a  
parser.  It detected the {jIloy} ambiguity and flagged it for a  
second pass, so it could be processed both as {jI-loy} and {jIl-oy}.   
Maybe that tack would work for you.
