That's very good!  So there's still room for puns in lojban, which depend on where the words are split.  Are there other types?

I do have a (possibly stupid, newbie-type) question:
ractu canmi'a
ractu (canre cmila)
?rabbit-type-of sandy laugh?

You lost me there... I don't see another way to interpret this based on the word lists available on the web pages.
