Not sure how I missed this on the last run, but the Red Book has:

<dt>4)  <dd>Any gismu forms that conflicted with existing gismu were removed. Obviously, being identical with an existing gismu cons
titutes a conflict. In addition, a proposed gismu that was identical to an existing gismu except for the final vowel was considered
a conflict, since two such gismu would have identical 4-letter rafsi.

Note that the stressed vowel of the gismu was considered sufficiently distinctive that two or more gismu may differ only in this vowel; as an extreme example, "bradi”, "bredi”, "bridi”, and "brodi” (but fortunately not "brudi”) are all existing gismu.

Now, dag-cll in the same place:

You'll notice that this is just a teensy-weensy difference, and that
dag-cll is Rather Shorter.

What do I do with this?
