And what is special about the last place?
The last component of a lujvo is special in one respect,
the x1 place of the lujvo will correspond with the x1
place of the last component. That is not really a prescriptive
rule as much as a descriptive one. It would be interesting
to see if there are exceptions.
That is why I think for example that a lujvo that means
"drowns" can't possibly end in -mro, because {morsi} means
"dead" not "dies", so even though the ideas are certainly
related, the actual meaning of the word is important.
The lujvo in -mro could mean "drowned", but not "drowns".
"Becomes dead" can't be {binxymorsi}, it has to be
{morsybinxo}. Are these really totally unfounded rules?
