lujvo are not meant to be definitions.

But I think it's also important to make their definitions predictable from their forms.

The above monsters were intentional extremes to give people a detailed sense for each concept and of which one might make a stripped-down version.

"carbi'e"

Wouldn't that be a hypernym of "cyclone" and "tornado", which can be distinguished?
 
"solnitku'e"

 I like it. There might be other concepts which would fit this lujvo, but I guess it's not a problem for the time being.
