"si'e" would have been an alternative if it had a rafsi.

Yes, I had given it some thought. But the crust, the mantle, and the
core are also layers. If we are to have "glavarsenta", it would make
more sense to have "jduro'isenta" instead of "jduro'i". I'm happy with
either one. If you think "glavarsenta" and "jduro'isenta" are better,
I'll go for that.
