stuttering



coi.

there's been a little talk recently on how to learn gismu. here is 
something i find helpful for rafsi: turn lujvo-making into a game. see 
how many (usable) words you can create for a given criterion. for 
instance. there's a kind of lujvo i call "stuttering"--where the 1st 
rafsi ends with the same consonant that the 2nd rafsi begins with. these 
are fun to say. 2 of them together is really something!

the first one i ever made was ZASYSPO 'temporarily-destroy'. as it 
happens, 2 fairly important lujvo "stutter": the word for pre-Rafsi 
Shift lojban (MIJYJBO--unless someone has a better suggestion!?), & 
'email' (SAMYMRI). 

others: FAMYMA'O 'trailing-cmavo', KARCYCAU 'carless one', DATYTSANI 
'other-sky' (i have used for a functional equivalent to "Dream Time" of 
aboriginal mythology), VANYNEI 'wine-fond', TERYRANMI 'mythos', 
SELDASYSRO 'closet', NU PAVYVLA SO'IRSMU 'polysemy', PAMYMRO ZGIKE 
'lovedeath music' (="Liebestod"), LIZYZI'E 'the experience of being 
free', TERYRA'I 'interval of continuing', TERYREI 'the questioner', 
ZUMYMRA 'activity of sheltering something', DABYBAI 'fight compeller' 
("fighting words"), GUBYBRE 'public-ready', TICYCFI 'deceiver flaw' 
(what the detective looks for), ZUGYGEI 'guilt-happy' (a S/M concept),  
PEVYVELVEI '(fig.) "recording-medium"' (=human memory), MIPYPAU 'the 
secret part', BEVYVAU 'carry-container' (i wouldn't call this canvas bag 
with my stuff in it a Purse--), JIKYKEI 'socialize-player' (vs. JIGYKEI 
'someone who plays to win'), DILYLOI 'cloud-floor' (what you can often 
see from a transatlantic flight), JADYDAI 'adorn-object', KABYBAU 
'compare-language' (one way to talk about metaphor), CAFYFE'U 
'often-angry one', CUNJEVYVAI 'random & important', XAGJOLYLA'E 
'good-mixed with-probable', MUBYBRE 'at the point of being ready', 
ZUMYMLU 'the activity of seeming' (another name for Politricks), PUPYPEI 
'the process of thinking' (emphasizing the nature rather than the 
product), SIZYZEI 'the idea of crime' (="transgression", an important 
component in PostModern aesthetics), XEMYMRI 'mail-carrier', ZUKYKA'E 
'one who can do something' (let us not talk of "speakers"--yet), 
PEVYVLIPA '(fig.) "powerful", NORYRE'U 'quasi-meat' (easier than trying 
to coin a more literal word for "tofu"), NORYRU'I 'quasi-spirit' (use 
this for "ghost"), PEVYVRO '(fig.) "door"' (i.e. computer "windows"), 
TOLYLA'A 'unfasten', TOLYLA'E 'improbable', TOLYLAU 'soft (as in: a 
"soft" sound)...

can anyone make a stuttering word for "stuttering word"?
