Yes, rafsi are a bit of a pain.

Now, {smitnim} is a name word, but {smitnau} ends in a 
vowel so it is not a name word. It is not a lujvo either, and 
in fact it is not even a valid fu'ivla. This is because it fails 
the "slinku'i test". {lasmitnau} will be heard as a lujvo 
las-mit-nau ("plastic-same-man")  :)
