{cercoi} has the form of a lujvo, {coico'o} does not.  {coi} is a rafsi
in the first but of selma'o COI in the second.  The difference between
the two is that a lujvo must have a consonant pair in the first five
letters.  {cercoi} thus forms a single-word lujvo because it can't be
broken up into cmavo, while {coico'o} breaks apart into {coi co'o}.  

However, {cerni zei coi} would be a zei-lujvo, meaning something about
mornings and greetings, although I'm not sure exactly what.
