IMO the variants with dadjr- are better than the ones with dajr-, since 
in general I think stage-3 fu'ivla are better with gisms rather than 3-
letter rafsi as "radical".

(For one thing, a fu'ivla formed on the basis of a gism will always be 
a valida stage-3 fu'ivla, whereas with with rafsi you can end up with a 
stage-4 by mistake [djarspageti] or even an invalid fu'ivla [djarpitsa, 
fails slinku'i test].)
