  I always wondered why the imported-from noralujv has definitions
like that, when the actual noralujv itself is written with an actual
comprehensible English gloss:

   kuncpastu: x1=s1=c3=k3 is a mine from which mineral  x2=c2=k2   is taken.

  So, question:  when you say that they suck, are you referring to a)
the need for the lujvo at all, b) the derivation or c) the way the
derivation was (automatically?) glossed into English.
