We don't have to reach an explicit agreement on the place structure of the lujvo? Consider: .i zo solsentrvi'u cu sinxa lenuzo'e vimcu le barsenta le solri Would a sentence like that suffice to establish the meaning of {solsentrvi'u}? What if some people prefer a more detailed lujvo such as {solbarborsentrvi'u}? Or what if some people prefer a different hyphen, yielding {solsentyvi'u}? Fact is, I have trouble remembering the rules for hyphens. Does {clamauri'a} work as a lujvo for "lengthen"? Or must I insert an /n/, yielding {clamaunri'a}? Any advice would be appreciated. co'omi'e markl.
