Is there a convention stating that I should use the latter?There's a convention saying that each form gets a score and the scores determine which one is the canonical form. All the forms are equally valid; I prefer "tolcliva" too. I once used "ci'onrai" for scansion reasons. Pierre
IMO, for a true "dictionary" form, one it's filed under alphabetically, you should use the fully expanded form, with all rafsi in 4- or 5-letter form... which doesn't apply here, since cmavo don't have 4-letter rafsi. But in general with gismu. So ci'onrai would be citnytraji
