It would seem that molten entails liquid, at least in Lojban.
We have:

dunja   
x1 freezes/jells/solidifies at temperature x2 and pressure x3 

febvi 
x1 boils/evaporates at temperature x2 and pressure x3 

lunsa 
x1 condenses/liquefies on/into x2 at temperature x3, pressure x4

runme 
x1 melts [becomes liquid from solid state] at temperature x2 and pressure x3 

(Of course, if they all had the same place structure it would be 
too easy, so {lunsa} had to have an irregular place structure.)
We don't have primitives for solid->gaseous (sublimation) and 
gaseous->solid (what was that called?), or maybe {febvi} and {dunja} 
are general as to the initial state?
