But in reality we have a class of a "regular" lujvo which meaning anyone can guess. I will not bother to dig into the dictionary for a lujvo starting with sel- or tol- or ending with -mau or -gau. And if a dictionary will give a different meaning than I have guessed, I will conclude that this dictionary is Bad, Wrong and Evil. But there is a trap. Consider a lujvo "pofygau". Almost anyone will understand it as "to break (agentive)", and this meaning is listed in gimste. But someone in lojban_ru community noted that other possible meaning is "to be a broken agent", "to be unable to cause something". I believe that most of the sane lojbanists will prefer the first meaning over the second. Why? Because the "something+gau" pattern is much more recognizable than "pof+something". "-gau" is more affixish than "pof-". So, I conclude, it will be a Good Thing to have a list of common lujvo patterns that need not be listed in dictionary, and to have a rule to resolve conflicts when a given lujvo match two or more patterns. For the second goal I suggest the following two rules: 1) Rafsi derived from cmavo is more affixish (has a higher priority) than rafsi derived from gismu. 2) Unless the first rule gives an answer, rafsi at the end of lujvo is more affixish (has a higher priority) than rafsi at te beginning of lujvo.
