The PEG morphology gives rafsi to every fu'ivla.

In last place, the rafsi is just the full fu'ivla, as with gismu,
except you need to preceed it with y-ending rafsi only (which is not a
problem because every brivla has at least one of those). In non-last
place, the rafsi is formed by adding 'y (apostrophe y) to the fu'ivla.
They also can only be preceded by y-rafsi. If the fu'ivla starts with
a vowel, the dot becomes an apostrophe when not in initial position.

(Some fu'ivla also have somewhat shorter rafsi, formed by replacing
the last vowel with a y, but it is hard to precisely specify the class
of fu'ivla that allow this. Basically as long as it can't be confused
with an ordinary lujvo.)
