Hell, list 'em all, with cross references to the fullest form, where all the 
details are spelled out.

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
