Er, no? The rationale behind using -e and not -u is that the final
vowel from the fu'ivla head is -e and because in latin, the final
vowel is not really a true constituent of the *word*. The root itself
ends in a consonant, and therefore the final vowel has little real
bearing on the meaning, aside from grammatical implications. So no,
this isn't a malgli fu'ivla at all, especially considering that in
English, the word doesn't even end in a vowel (in speech, of course),
so "pomegranate" is lojbanised to {pamygranet} (probably, I'm no
expert on lojbanisation; I prefer to use real lojban words over
lojbanisations any day).

What'd be unjustifiably malglico would be {grutrpamagranete} and that
certainly isn't the case with {grutrgranate} which is justified in all
aspects.
