It would require adjustment to bring it into line for being a type-4
fu'ivla. Fortunately, she was prefixing the type-3 prefix to it, so
everything was kosher. But it doesn't have any impermissible consonant
clusters, letters/sounds not present in Lojban, etc, etc. (And I imagine
that it sounds more or less like it should, as well.)
