I once had that resistance too. But a lujvo has little to do with
tanru. For example, a rokci prenu has to be a person, but a rokpre may
legally be a statue and not a person, if you define it so. And it
sounds much better than "prero'i" which would be more accurate for
tanru (prenu rokci, because a statue is a prenu-type-of rokci).
