[bpfk] type-3 fu'ivla with different kinds of rafsi

[Pierre Abbat <phma@phma.optus.nu>]

According to the Book, a type-3 fu'ivla can be made with a rafsi of form CCV, 
CVC, CVCC, or CCVC. AFAIK, some of us (including me) consider fu'ivla of the 
form CCVrCV... or CCVnrV... to be of type 4. Looking through jbovlaste, I 
found one of that form: "plargoni", which means not some kind of planner but 
a geranium. There's another one, "turdunu" (bullroarer, from some Aboriginal 
language), which I made up originally as "turndunu" but changed 
because "turndunu" is a type-3. jbofi'e considers "plargoni" to be of type 4. 
Should CCV rafsi be disallowed in type-3 fu'ivla?

Also, it should be stated clearly that if a type-3 fu'ivla can be interpreted 
as starting with a CVC or CVCC rafsi, it is interpreted as starting with a 
CVCC rafsi. Otherwise some combinations of gismu and foreign part cannot be 
turned into a type-3 fu'ivla.
