"bu" converts any word into a lerfu, but "ty" already is the lerfu T,
so you don't need to convert it.  "ty bu" should be some other lerfu
related to T, but not T itself, like "ky bu" is Q, or "vy bu" is W.

Neither "tybusycreka" nor "tycreka" are valid lujvo, the leading "ty"
will fall off, or if preceded by a CV, it will form a different lujvo:
"lo tybusycreka" = "lotybusycreka" = bloti zei bu zei creka".

You want "ty zei creka" in order to form a lujvo from "ty" and
"creka", because "ty" doesn't have a rafsi.
