"stanyxruba" sounds fine to me, but I'm not sure about "pezyxruba". What do 
you call longjohn and knotweed?

I think porridge should be called pesxu, or some lujvo thereof.

If someone said "xruba" and meant some particular kind, but didn't specify 
which, I'd think rhubarb, not buckwheat. That's just because it sounds like 
"rhubarb". What do the other source words mean?
