RE: [lojban] dictionary - which words?

If by "cmavo compounds" you mean lujvo made from zei-glued cmavo, then
they would just be a subtype of lujvo. If you mean sequences of cmavo
that often get written without a space, then to include them in
the dictionary would just perpetuate the spurious and insidious notion
that these are in some way distinct from sequences of cmavo written
without a space. That notion already contaminates the ma'oste, and
should be knocked on the head, not reinforced.
