Rafybri

I always noticed how lujvo break the transparen= t logic of bridi.
Let's look at {nitkla} which means {klama lo cn= ita}.
Although it's much easier to learn {nitkla} rather then "de= scend" (in English they differ in sounding considerably)
nobody c= an guess that {nitkla} means "descend" and doesn't mean "go in a lower posi= tion under something" without getting the translation beforehand.

Although anybody is free to say "klama lo cnita" instead
it will lead to lengthier speech.

What I s= uggest is to glue bridi together into a new form of lujvo called "rafybri".=
That's how it works. 
1. First rule
4 new ra= fsi
zve <=3D be fe lo
zvi <=3D be fi lo 
zvo <=3D be fo lo 
zvu <=3D be fu lo 
and 
jve (fifth rafsi)
When com= posing rafybri you replace gismu with rafsi and "be fe lo" etc. with new ra= fsi of ZVE series.

2. cmavo attached to rafsi = don't lead to the emergence of a new meaning. Therefore selpa'i  is a = synonym for "se prami" (actually the second rule is not a new rule at all).=

Applying this rule we can dramatically compress t= he length of lojbanic jufra.
And if we replace cnita with dizlo i= n our example we can save even two syllables.
klama lo cnita =3D = klama lo dizlo =3D kla+zve+dzi =3D klazvedzi

blanu= je crino =3D blajveri'o. In this case I refer to {blajveri'o} as to a syno= nym of {blanu je crino} (blue-green). I suggest that no new meaning is adde= d here.

In other words rafybri can be constructed = from tanru only if the latter have logical operators
("pelnimre t= ricu" can't be compressed into rafybri).
