The rules are all in chapter 4, section 12 of *The Complete Lojban Language*.
They take several different aspects of a {lujvo} into account, namely, the
length, the number of apostrophes, the number of 'y' and 'r'/'n' hyphens, the
types of {rafsi} used, and the number of vowels. These values are then run
through a rather arbitrary-looking formula to produce a score for a {lujvo},
and the lowest-scoring {lujvo} for a given {tanru} is the preferred or
"dictionary" form.
