What's a stage 3.5 fu'ivla? {cpirkivi} is stage 4, not stage 3, and has the
same form (in terms of valid initial pairs or not) as {skalduna}.
As to the Chinese gooseberry, which I mentioned on IRC: I forgot the word for
gooseberry, which is {grosulari} (or {grosularia}), but a kiwifruit is not
{jungo grosulari}, as it belongs to a different order than the gooseberry.
All berries are fruits and all kiwifruits are berries. What should go in x2 of
{rutrkiui} or {jbarnkiui} (or {aktinidia}) to distinguish the species?
