CLL: "There are just 48 such permissible initial consonant pairs, as

Firstly, I don't see {rs} listed as one of the 48 permissible initial
consonant pairs although there are gismu like {jursa} and {darsi} etc.  Also
there are lujvo in the lujvo list which also use {rs} as an initial
consonant pair: {jaurselylu'i}, {jirsezlu'i}, {ki'orsamsrorau}, {varsenta}.
Not only that, but I am able to also find other lujvo in the "current" lujvo
list that appear to violate the initial consonant pair rule, such as
{kamsorselmanri}.

None of those Lojban words have initial consonant pairs.
