Subject: stage-4 fu'ivla construction exception?
From: Michael Turniansky <mturniansky@gmail.com>
To: lojban-list@lojban.org
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8

  According to the CLL:
---
 5)    Prefix the result of steps 1-5 with a 4-letter rafsi that
categorizes the fu'ivla into a ``topic area''. It is only safe to use
a 4-letter rafsi; short rafsi sometimes produce invalid fu'ivla.
Hyphenate the rafsi to the rest of the fu'ivla with an ``r''-hyphen;
if that would produce a double ``r'', use an ``n''-hyphen instead; if
the rafsi ends in ``r'' and the rest of the fu'ivla begins with ``n''
(or vice versa) use an ``l''-hyphen. (This is the only use of
``l''-hyphen in Lojban.)
    Alternatively, if a CVC-form short rafsi is available it can be
used instead of the long rafsi.
---
   I ran into an interesting problem trying to create "gin" as
"jikr{u}"+djine.  I can't use an r hyphen, because the 4-rafsi ends
with r.  I can't use "n", because it creates the impermissible triple
"ndj".  However, there is no provision in this step for using "l" in
this situation.  I would think there should be.  When I did use it,
and ran the result (jikrldjine) through jbofi'e, it didn't barf, but
did process it as jik+r+ldjine (some kind of socializing "ldjine"  Is
there anything official about what one should do in this kind of
situation?
