There is a list of all fu'ivla that I could identify as such (and maybe a 
few more) from existing text in the draft-dictionary/working directory 
along with all the other word frequency lists.  They do not have 
translations - someone will have to supply them before we get to put them 
in the dictionary.

The answer as to why it hasn't been done, is that no one has done it.  It 
is nowhere near the priority of the major dictionary hangups which are 
defining and place-structuring as many lujvo as possible and coming up with 
usable definitions for the cmavo and compounds.  Both of these have much 
larger files in the same directory.  The fu'ivla list is small, and 
relatively easy to define keywordwise, though there is no policy on how to 
set place structures for the words unless they have a clear parallel among 
the lujvo.
