If you coin a lujvo without

sel[xxxxxx] might be the best lujvo for an English concept.

I suspect such lujvo will be very rare, because the tendency seems
to be to interpret them as [selxxx]xxx. In jbovlaste I found only one
each of types selkem[xxxxxx], terkem[xxxxxx], velkem[xxxxxx], and
none with xelkem-. I couldn't find any without -kem- and meant to be
interpreted as sel[xxxxxx], but there might be some and I might have
missed them. Is anyone aware of any such lujvo?

I suspect that there aren't many yet because there aren't all that many lujvo with agreed upon places. (I don't actually know what the count is for lujvo in jbovlaste that a) are not themselves based on SE b) have place structures which have seen any usage of non-x1 places. Of course, I am not even sure how many 2 part and 3 part lujvo there are in jbovlaste with defined places structures at all.)
