I know I've read something about a "great rafsi relocation" and that not wanting to cause another one of these is the main reason behind not changing "tel" for stela (lock) to something else is out of the question.  But that was a while ago.  Is it still completely out of the question to change just one little rafsi so we can have 100% consistency instead of 99.9% consistency?

I just picture teaching my kids lojban and them saying "but dad, you said that there are no exceptions toe the rules in lojban, why is the rafsi of 'te' 'ter' when all the others are just themselves plus 'l'?".

Are there any rules about rafsi besides their forms & the fact that every gismu has at least one?

Well, I guess there are at least three gismu without rafsi -- {brodi}, {brodo}, {brodu} -- so scrap that rule. mu'o mi'e komfn
