According to 4.16, it's not baselined, it's an experimental proposal. I don't
agree with reserving CCVVCV for cultural fu'ivla, or making all cultural
fu'ivla be of that form, since most of them don't fit into that form. I think
it should be just another fu'ivla tarmi.

As to rafsi fu'ivla, I don't see why a fu'ivla couldn't fall at the end of a
lujvo, as long as the rafsi preceding it forces the insertion of a 'y' by the
rules. If you can come up with a counterexample, please let me know; maybe it
means that the rules for fu'ivla should be restricted.
