Do you also object to things like "cinfykalte" for "lion hunter"?

In general, "brode zei broda" for "broda be lo brode" will not shock
an English speaker as long as brode corresponds to a noun in English,
but Lojban doesn't divide its words into nouns and adjectives, so
"claselkre" for "se krefu be lo clani" shouldn't be so shocking. Lots
of lujvo follow that pattern.
