First, as three of those have gismu, that's unnecessary. (The other one is 
solnavni.) Second, the first word in each set is the wrong kind of fu'ivla 
(except "xukmi'fu'e" which isn't a word at all), and the third is a cmavo or 
string of cmavo.

http://jbo.wikipedia.org/wiki/dikni_selratni_cartu (should be "dikni selratni 
bo cartu", as it is, it's "table of periodic elements"). "sodna" should 
be "xasysodna" or some such; "sodna" by itself refers to the whole column. 
Similarly for "kliru".
