But isn't this the same situation that we discussed with xorxes for words like
{selteptce}, {stanycma}, and plinycma?

fearsome: {selteptce} not {tceselte'a}  
from: m1 mutce lo ka t2 se terpa t1 kei m3
 
sprout: {stanycma} not {cmastani}
from: c1=s1 cmalu loka stani s2 kei c3
 
asteroid {plinycma} not {cmaplini}
from: c1 cmalu loka p1 plini p2 p3 p4 kei c3
 
In all the above cases, _tce, _cma, etc can be expanded easily to their
origins.  How would you expand {tceselte'a}, {cmastini}, {cmaplini} and ...
{me'aspe}?

It should be noted here that {cmalu} & {mutce} don't operate in the same way. Specifically, while your expansion involving {mutce} seems sound to me, your expansion involving {cmalu} decidedly does not.

cmalu : x1 is small in property/dimension(s) x2 (ka) as compared with standard/norm x3

A small planet is not small in the property/dimension of being a planet. I think the underlying tanru, {cmalu plini} expands to {cmalu je plini} or {c1=p1 cmalu c2 c3 gi'e plini p2 p3 p4}.

But even with your tanru-based expansion, you still can't avoid 'the property of being a planet'.  After all, what is c2?
