Talking about rafsi in Lojban get get inconvenient. Not only must some rafsi be quoted like cmevla (e.g. {zo .lob. rafsi zo lojbo}), but rafsi of the form CCV can't be quoted at all. This caused the experimental {ra'oi} to be invented, but that's not necessarily a pretty solution because it still requires obnoxious quoting.

I therefore had the idea to use a simple, predictable algorithm that lets us refer to any rafsi via a regularly generated zi'evla. The system is simple:



# Use the zi'evla prefix -rafr- or -rafsr- (it doesn't matter)

# Add the rafsi

# If the rafsi ends in a consonant, add any of the five normal vowels. Probably -i is preferable, since it's also the last vowel of {rafsi}.



That's it. 



Here some examples that use each type of rafsi:



||__rafsi__|__zi'evla__

-bal-  | rafrbali

-tsa-  | rafrtsa

-bi'o- | rafrbi'o ||



Now you can talk about rafsi without ever needing to quote them:



lo rafrlo'i cu rafsi zo bloti

"-lo'i- is the rafsi of {bloti}"



You can even easily use them in tanru now:



lo nintadni cu su'o roi rafrpi'o se cfipu

"Beginners sometimes are confused about -pi'o-"
