OK, but I've not been able to find cmevla "kadnygug" in any dictionary or word list. Does that mean anybody can make cmevla when they feel like it? If yes, what are the rules for doing it?
For that matter, I can't find lujvo "kadnygu'e" either. Now, the rules for constructing lujvo seem to be clear, except for the business of how a lujvo becomes official and gets into jbovlaste. So how does a newly constructed lujvo become official?

Great! Thanks to your collective efforts, I think I now understand why le, lo and la kandygu'e can be ok.........however, what about "la kadnygug. cu lamji la mergug" ? Surely "kadnygug" is not valid. Doesn't CLL state that a CVC rafsi cannot be at the end of a word?

A CVC rafsi cannot appear at the end of a *lujvo*; all lujvo are brivla, and all brivla must end in a vowel. "kadnygug." is a cmevla, built out of rafsi to signal its meaning to the listener. But one could certainly name one's pet capybara "kadnygug." just as one could name him "Canada". mu'o mi'e komfo,amonan
