Re: How do you parse lujvo into the component rafsi?

Thanks. Your comments helped me find a bug.

I've been using the official lujvo list to practice on. I found one 
word that doesn't work: natmyrgu'e. It's defined as nation+country = 
fatherland and so must be natmi + gugde, but that extra r doesn't 
make sense. Is this an incorrect lujvo?
