I think all do, except for the ones ending in a consonant. Those would be seen as cmevla, but I personally believe, that a big part of the fun of listening to a song, that has "garbled" or "weird" or even especially poetical lyrics is to find out what the author intended to mean. There might even be the possibility to make lyrics make sense when words are interpreted as being cmavo and when they are interpreted as rafsi standing for gismu. The possibilities are endless :) - Timo
