You can't join a rafsi ending in a vowel with a following fu'ivla rafsi by sticking an interfix consonant, as that just results in a longer fu'ivla. That lujvo should be "crinyrutrprunu". "ri'orsmela" is well-formed. "naltitla" doesn't mean "bitter", it means "non-sweet". "tolslari" is unclear: perceptually it's sweet, but chemically it's bitter. Bitter is "kurki". What do we call umami? All the names of plants have a taxon of some sort in x2, so you can say "ti ricrprunu la'o ly. amygdalus .ly". But I just say "mugdali". > Of course, one could make a lujvo for marzipan, but if shortness is a > requirement, fu'ivla are the way to go.

You mean "smelytitla", right? Since "rutrprunu" (like all type-3 fu'ivla ending in single vowels) can form its rafsi by dropping the last vowel, you can say "rutrprunytitla". "marsipane" and "xa'anze" sound good to me.
