{caxmatikelta'o} is another fu'ivla. {caxmati} doesn't have a rafsi made by 
dropping the last vowel, because that results in rafsi meaning "shallow 
match". You can, though, say {caxmati'ykelta'o} or {caxmati zei kelta'o} (the 
former is Jorge's rafsi fu'ivla proposal).

{kucycuk} is a cmevla, but since it's made from rafsi, {kucycukykelta'o} is 
valid and sensible, even though formally, it has no more relationship to 
{kucycuk. zei kelta'o} than the River Hrazdan has to a picture house.
