I would guess it's that of 'broda'. Is it so? Is there a rule >about this? There are as yet no rules for inventing place structures for le'avla/fu'ivla, and there may never be, since the act of borrowing is so ad hoc. Certainly some le'avla could incorporate the prefix-tags places, but I doubt that all of them would. There are as yet very few le'avla other than those relating to cultures/ langauges/countres, etc., that have yet been made, and even among those, there has been little usage of le'avla except in le/lo/loi descriptions which seldom call on one to use places other than x1. So we really have no significant amount of precedent on which to build or discover rules. lojbab
