I decided to do some dummy checking on your latest file, especially
after seeing the 'spa'/spati note that Jorge found.  I did 2 things.
First, I ran the right hand sides through the converter program to see
what it would do with the mostly English garbage.  It found many, perhaps
all of the intended Lojban words (as well as a few others - rectangle, for
example).  This file reports the output.

A separate file will report the results of running the whole file through
the glosser equipped with the new rafsi, if it will take it.  If not, I will
just run the left column through.  This will let you check what the
rafsi actually expand to, and the glosser also detects bad lujvo that are
missing consonant clusters.  It occurs to me that the converter would
have missed any such, though since the numbers added up, I suspect there
are no examples of this in the file I converted.

Words it found and wanted to remake. ** means that the same word was in the
file I converted earlier, so it is definitely real.  The others may merely
be attempts to convert what was already converted, but may be real if they
are in words you added after I converted.

* old=cimcintyxra new=cimcintyxai

Things it thinks could be better
+ old=dizmu'u new=dzimu'u
+ old=fancyjufra new=fancyju'a     This looks like a missing space***
+ old=ga'ucla new=galcla
+ old=jmepilka new=jmepi'a
+ old=le'avla new=lebvla
+ old=le'avla new=lebvla

Spelling note: Noticed spaghetti misspelled, and both cellotape and sellotape
where the latter is not acceptable American spelling (actually we never
abbreviate it and use cellophane tape).  I did not spell check - these were
just observations.

The error lujvo checker of course picked out every English word with a
consonant cluster and final vowel.  It also found:
old=bavyna'arefydje
old=na'arefydje
as invalids that are obviously intended to be Lojban.
The first needs to drop the first 'y' hyphen; the second needs an 'n' hyphen.
