I do favor the use of short general lujvo when indeed there are likely
to be multiple longer concepts that will be made from it.  I don't think
that applies here.  There are rather limited numbers of dome structures,
fewer still whose frame-structure is an important part of the concept.
Of those, only geodesic domes are a sufficiently coherent concept that
we would plausibly consider a single word for that concept.  For the
other sorts of domes I mentioned, I would likely include a hint at their
function in a lujvo, because its dome-nature stems from that function.


One could just use a tanru, consisting of a word for 'geodesic' and a word for 'dome'.  There doesn't need to be a lujvo for it, at least not right away.
