I defer to you on this, since I am no longer capable of getting a reliable =
sense of modern Lojban usage.

Presumably, fully-compositional lujvo would not appear in the dictionary, w=
hile less-than-fully-composition lujvo would. If some lujvo are predictably=
 fully-compositional, presumably this -- the relevant morphological rules a=
nd rafsi -- will have to be added to the documentation for the next version=
 of Lojban?
