Why would {fu'ivla} be split into two separate types?  The division between
types 3 and 4 is a convention, and discriminating between them is only relevant
for semantic purposes, not morphological (i.e., identifying a type 3 {fu'ivla}
lets you determine the general concept it describes).  Also, your {vlalei} list
omits {cmene}/{cmevla}.

You did make a mistake; that 'r' should be a 'y'.  'R' is only allowed as a
hyphen in {lujvo} when the first {rafsi} is CVV and either the {tanru} contains
more than two words or the second {rafsi} is not CCV.
