Everything here should be marked as exclusively e= xperimental and (.a'o) as the source for further consideration.

None of the existing rules of Lojban (the baseline) is changed.

Rafybri

I always = noticed how lujvo break the transparent logic of bridi.

Let's loo= k at {nitkla} which means {klama lo cnita}.

Although it's much easier to learn {nitkla} rather then "descend" (in = English they differ in sounding considerably)

nobody can guess th= at {nitkla} means "descend" and doesn't mean "go in a lower position under = something" without getting the translation beforehand.

I disagree. I argue that it is actually rather easy t= o determine the meaning of nitkla.

Let us assume that nitkla is a lu= jvo formed from the tanru {cnita klama}, which may or may not be true. {cni= ta klama} is a "below type-of going", i.e.. "going below", i.e. "descending= ".

The point is that = in many lujvo the first rafsi acts rather like an adverb when translating t= o English.

How is that difficult to figure out?

Although anybody is free t= o say "klama lo cnita" instead

it will lead to lengthier speech.

What I sugg= est is to glue bridi together into a new form of lujvo called "rafybri".
That's how it works.
1. First rule

4 new = rafsi
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 composing rafybri you replace= gismu with rafsi and "be fe lo" etc. with new rafsi of ZVE series.

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

Applying this rule we can dramatically compress the len= gth of lojbanic jufra.
And if we replace cnita with dizlo in 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 synonym of {blanu je crino} (blue-green). I suggest th= at no new meaning is added here.

In other words ra= fybri can be constructed from tanru only if the latter have logical operato= rs

("pelnimre tricu" can't be compressed into rafybri).
