As you will note below, many gismu have no short-form rafsi and must use the long forms in both initial and final positions. 2. any cmavo or other word may be incorporated into a lujvo independently of the rafsi system using the cmavo "zei": 'any-word' zei 'any-word' forms a brivla 3. All forms of lujvo built out of exactly the same component words/rafsi have identical meanings. There is no stigma attached to use of long forms, which can be especially useful when your audience is not familiar with the rafsi, and is not likley to be looking up words in a word-list. Long-forms also may be preferred to guessing when you are too lazy to use a list yourself, and you suspect that your audience WILL be using one - there is nothing like trying to interpret a lujvo when the unambiguously resolved components resolve into something totally strange. 4. There are rules for building lujvo-forms that are fairly simple. The lujvo-making algorithm is given at the end of this document. gismu or cmavo CVC CCV CVV English keyword bacru ba'u utter badna banana badri dri sad bajra baj run bakfu baf bundle bakni bak bovine
