*(I'm not sure if the k-g combination would give people trouble, though. As a beginner I'm not sure of the rules of dropping vowels in instances like this.)

She has:
Sonja's dictionary:come out (of the closet) v. (as gay) malkaŝi sian gejecon, (as a lesbian) malkaŝi sian lesbecon, (slang) elŝrankiĝi, burĝoni

Alciona:Ekpublikagejeco? Or Ekpublikgejeco*? Begin public gayness?I think the rule for dropping vowels when combining words is to do whatever makes the word easier to pronounce - in this case, I think keeping the vowel would be preferred.

However, I don't have a source for this, so I'd double-check with someone who is more knowledgable/experienced.
