lo gismu na fu'ivla. CCVVCV is proposed in the Book as a form for cultural 
fu'ivla, but we've made up cultural fu'ivla in other forms too, such 
as "katlana" (Catalan) and "nienke'a" (Mohawk). (I say "we", but both of 
those are by me. I'd have to check jbovlaste to see what anyone else has made 
up.) Another one in CCVVCV form is "mraigo" (Welsh).

The place structure of a type-4 cultural fu'ivla is like that of "glico" 
or "fraso". The place structure of a type-3 is like that of the gismu it's 
made from, so if you want one with the same place structure as "bolgaro", 
it's "slovnblgaria", not "kulnrblgaria".

"fi lo fu'ivla pe lo kulnu"; "zo glico".
