lujvo proposals:

gruxruba (=gurni+xruba) buckwheat in the strict sense
xubgrudja (=xruba+gurni+cidja) buckwheat porridge
pezyxruba (=pezli+xruba) sorrel
stanyxruba (=stani+xruba) rhubarb


le lojbo gusta cu stidi le xruba sanmi
.i se pamoi le pezyxruba stasu {sorrel soup}
.i se remoi le xubgrudja {buckwheat porridge}
.i se cimoi le stanyxruba tisnanba {rhubarb pie}
