"rodrai" and "tolrodrai" need to be distinguished in the Lojban gloss. 
Also "tol-" is pretty common by itself, as are "nal-" and "nor-".

For morphologic reasons, "-mau" is sometimes replaced with "zma", or for 
phonotactic reasons, vice versa.

"ficbo'e" violates phonotactics.

I'd put "frica" as a suffix. The first word I thought of beginning with "fic" 
is "ficysi'u". "re frica prenu" means "two different people (both different 
from someone else)", whereas "re ficysi'u prenu" means "two different people 
(different from each other)".

"simxu" should be in the list.

"jdika" should not be crossed out, it just doesn't have a short rafsi.

I don't remember seeing "-bra" or "-cma" added to arbitrary gismu, except 
in "plisycma", which was a joke. Usually they're prefixes.

"rodcre" violates phonotactics. I don't think "-cre" is common enough to 
include in the list.

I don't think "si'o-" is that common as a prefix. You may be thinking 
of "siz-", which is the rafsi of the cmavo "si'o". The suffix "-si'o" is 
fairly close to "-ism".
