?? Who says that the two terms in a jek have to have a relationship to one
another? "ti blanu je zdani" is perfectly valid. This is a blue-and-house
thing. This is a "ka ce'u banro pe la lojban", a growth (of an unspecified
something) associated in some way with lojban, and a "ka ce'u selci'i pe la
lojban", an interest (by an specified something) asssociated in some way with
lojban.

I'm sorry, suddenly the use of non-specified nonce lujvo is forbidden??
Let's see.. let's look at an example of something by some guy named "Robin
Powell": I see "ralcinfra" used several times in "nicte cadzu" with no
listing in jbovlaste, no explanation of what the word means, no place
structure definition, no indication that it's a nonce term. ditto "bavlamji",
"tacsa'e" (which I assume is a typo for "tacysa'e"), etc. etc. Need I go
on????
Actually, my defintion above was more in response to your question below, of
the derivation.....
I didn't need to specify more than the x1 place, because that's all I used.
But if you really want me to:
falrenzdi x1=t1 is a roller coaster at amusement park x2=t3 propelled by
motive force x3=t4
