(There are no lujvo based on rafsi fu'ivla in this set; all such words have 'y' in them.) 1. List all lerpoi that have at least two syllables, end in a vowel, have at least one consonant cluster in the first five letters not counting apostrophes, begin with a valid initial cluster no longer than three consonants or with a vowel, have no apostrophes that are not adjacent to two vowels, and have no invalid consonant clusters. These are the possible y-less brivla. If an invalid diphthong is in the lerpoi, assume a comma; thus {spou} is in this set, but {spai} isn't. If they have fewer than five letters and have a valid consonant cluster (or valid initial, if it is initial), count them in. 2. Enumerate all gismu and lujvo (including meaningless ones such as {xoxmau}) ignoring the tosmabru rule. Ignore all lujvo that contain 'y'. 3. For all possible y-less brivla S that begin with consonant clusters, consider S, CVS, VS, CVVS, VVS, and VVVS, where apostrophes may be present between V's. a. If CVS and S are both lujvo, mark CVS as invalid by the tosmabru rule. b. If CVS is a lujvo and S is not, mark S as invalid by the slinku'i rule. c. If S is valid, mark CVS, VS, CVVS, VVS, and VVVS as invalid. 4. All remaining valid lerpoi, and no others, are actual y-less brivla. All those not marked as gismu or lujvo are fu'ivla. phma ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor ---------------------~--> Rent DVDs Online-No late fees!
