I agree, but should we also enter "dembrpisu"? There are a few combinations of 
gismu and foreign part for which the short rafsi can't be used, even if a CVC 
rafsi exists, because the resulting fu'ivla has the same form as one made with 
a CVCC rafsi. I don't remember the example now, and I'm at a Parallax 
Propeller workshop.

The type-3 has to be "spatrsparagu". "sparsparagu" is a type-4.

"spatrxaci". I think it's silly making a fu'ivla for every genus. Does any 
natlang have a common name for every genus of plants?
