vlasisku is not a parser. It can only decompose lujvo, but this is a 
zi'evla based on Ithkuil (the language).

That is possible, but quite terrible. You seem to be overlooking the 
joke (or I am seeing a joke where there is none).
.itkuile: x1 pertains to Ithkuil in aspect x2

It's funny when used as "this is so complicated, I can't understand it", 
but defining it that way removes some of the metaphorical character from 
the expression. Of course, you'd get some laughs when someone looks it 
up expecting it to mean "x1 pertains to Ithkuil [..]" only to find this 
joke-definition. Happens somewhat regularly with the many other 
joke-brivla when someone looks them up on IRC.
