mi ca tsajdika

Every gismu has two long rafsi: one that looks exactly like the gismu
itself, and which can only be used in final position to form a lujvo, and
another one that is obtained by replacing the final vowel of the gismu
with 'y', and which can only be used in non-final position.

In addition to those two long rafsi, many but not all gismu have one, two
or three short rafsi.
