Is it legal to make a lujvo from a rafsi + > fu'ivla like {caxmatikelta'o} = chess board? {caxmatikelta'o} is another fu'ivla. {caxmati} doesn't have a rafsi made by dropping the last vowel, because that results in rafsi meaning "shallow match". You can, though, say {caxmati'ykelta'o} or {caxmati zei kelta'o} (the former is Jorge's rafsi fu'ivla proposal). {kucycuk} is a cmevla, but since it's made from rafsi, {kucycukykelta'o} is valid and sensible, even though formally, it has no more relationship to {kucycuk. zei kelta'o} than the River Hrazdan has to a picture house.
