Though I'd tend to use four-letter rafsi (aka "gisms") in creating 
fu'ivla to be on the safe side; hence, jgitrbalalaika.

(What is the rule for safe three-letter rafsi? Do they have to be CVC? 
For example, my copy of vlatai calls {djarspageti} a type-4 fu'ivla 
rather than parsing it as dja/r/spageti = type-3.)
