Does 'tricrfraksizeicecmu' work as one word? I suspect it would fall apart - if it falls apart at the 'zei' that's not really a problem, because 'tricrfraksi zei cecmu' is valid and equally meaningful (though cecmu != kampu); but I can't work out if it mightn't fall apart somewhere else. On another point, I would prefer tricrfraksinu to tricrfraksi. There's no rule about how to do this, but IMHO arbitrarily docking a syllable off the word is naughty.
