{fd} is a forbidden pair, because it is unvoiced-voiced.
{vd} and {ft} would be the corresponding voiced-voiced and

Also a 'y' can be required if the word is a tosmabru. (I'm not sure what "tosmabru" is supposed to mean. "tos" isn't the rafsi of anything.) Some examples are jesyratcu (porcupine), jesymabru (hedgehog or spiny anteater, va'i ernace fa'u zalgosu), and bakyrectu (beef). If you drop the 'y' you get 
something from which the first two letters fall off.
To anyone interested, tosmabru is a carryover from Institute Loglan. It was a made up (but otherwise legal) word, to show that a word made in this 
fashion would break up into to smabru (two smokers[smoke breathers])).
Slinkui comes from the same source. If permitted, paslinkui (past-linear-kin = ancestors) would become illegal. Ultimately we allowed slinkui words by requiring paslinkui words 
to be hyphenated as pasylinkui.




How about {spoja'e}:{x1 jalge lo daspo be x2}.
"x1 is the result/outcome of the destruction of x2".


Sounds good too. Use 'em both.
