 zifre fulta, zifryfulta, zifyfulta, zifryflu, zifyflu, zi'eflu (free-float)
 zifre flecu, zifryflecu, zifyflecu, zifryfle, zifyfle, zi'efle (free-flow)

 sanji farvi jmive, sanjyfarvyjmive, sanjyfarvyji'e, sanjyfavji'e,
sajyfavji'e, ... (conscious-evolving-organism)

These are in the form of the so-called 'content word', which can serve
as a predicate (verb/adjective) on its own. Another major form is the
'name word'. The above content words may be name-word-ized as follows:

 zi'eful, zi'efl, etc.

 sajyfavji'es, sajyfavji'ej, sajyfavmiv, sajyfavjix, etc.

The apostrophe is the "h" sound; in contexts of natural languages with
the Latin alphabet, you may have "ziheful" instead of "zi'eful", for
instance, although that string of letters wouldn't be recognized by
conventional Lojban parsers.

If "y" looks cumbersome, you can have, by sacrificing morphological
unity to some extent, something like "saj.fav.miv" with dots between
each component (and this should work also as the local part of an
email address, so long as no dot appear at the beginning/end, just
like your current one).
