Re: [lojban-beginners] Lujvo forming with cmavo rafsi

[Luke Bergen <lukeabergen@gmail.com>]

There are plenty of lujvo for which, if you pulled it apart into a tanru it would seem kind of funny.  Remember, lujvo are NOT just a shortened form of tanru.  They are their own definitions.  Using reasonable rafsi to compose the lujvo certainly makes it easier to get at the meaning if you've never seen the word before, but "rolcatra" for "omnikiller" seems perfectly legitimate.

The definition could be {x1 catra x2 po'u roda}

Specifically, I want to form a lujvo meaning "omnicide" (to ta'o this is due to the tvtropes trope "Omnicidal Maniac" ta'onai toi).  {ro zei catra} or {rolcatra} seems to be wrong.

{ro zei se catra} seems like it's all the victims, so maybe selrolselcatra?

I'm not quite clear on what it means to be a lujvo if you don't have a tanru as the basis.
