Not exactly; it's any form starting with a permissible initial cluster, and 
which is not a lujvo, such that prepending CV produces a lujvo. {branda} and 
{spa'i} are slinku'i.

The front-middle method is explained in BRKWORDS.TXT. It consists of looking 
for a sequence of front-middles of lujvo, such as CCV and CV'V, followed by 
one lujvo back, or one long or CVC rafsi, depending on what part of the 
algorithm you're in.
