The list server mysteriously dumped me off for a few days right about then
-- that must be why I didn't see it.

I went through looking for words in that category and I found:
 cpedu, cuxna, denpa?, facki, nitcu, djica, claxu, friti, drata?
but I didn't go through the whole gi'uste, so there are probably more.

Also some tenses can make other gismu have opaque places:

ka'e:        *mi mutce xagji .oi .i mi ka'e citka xe'e lo xirma.
di'i:        *mi di'i citka xe'e lo xirma
-roi:        *mi ciroi citka xe'e lo xirma

It's interesting that in all these examples it's the x2 place that causes
the problem.
