Quite so.

The difference between type-3 and type-4 is relevant to fu'ivla
construction, not to analysis.   A fu'ivla can look like a type-3
while in fact being defined as a type-4.  For example, one could read
"spargani'umi" as a type-3 lujvo for some sort of plant (spati) for
which "gani'umi" is the Lojbanization, or it could be a type-4 lujvo
for the genus _Sparganium_, the bur-reeds (which are plants).  If I
tried harder, I could probably find a similar example with an apparent
4-letter rafsi.

There can be no guaranteed analysis of a fu'ivla: it's any
brivla-shaped word that is not a gismu, lujvo, or slinku'i.  The point
of the type-3 rules is simply to help someone reliably build a fu'ivla
and not wind up with any of the other word forms.
