  Which, if you recall, I vociferously debated him on "plinycma" (I
have the whole thread save, if you need me to rehash it), and both
"cmaplini" and "plinycma" forms exist in jbovlaste.  I have less
problem with -tce endings, however, as that's a different case, and
has a lojbo cecmu convention to back it up.

  This is correct.

  But that definition is something that is small, not something that
is a plant.  That is decidely NOT the definition of a shoot

  But that definition is something that is small, not something that
is a planet.  That is decidedly NOT the definition of an asteroid

The short answer? x1(=c1=s1) cmalu be fi x3=c3 stani x2=s2

x1(=c1=p1)  cmalu be fi x3=c3 be'o p2 p3 p4
or  x1 plini x2 fi lo ka cmalu x3

  But more to the point, as I've said before, I'm a strong believer
that the lujvo must follow the order of the underlying tanru, as the
CLL does, and to me they are a cmalu plini, a cmalu stani, and a mleca
speni

  As for me'aspe:

m1=s1 mleca (be fi lo ka speni be fi s3 be'o) speni s2 s3
