Huh, I thought y was allowed in fu'ivla. In any case, that particular
example is one I am not in favor of even outside of whether or not
it's well-formed; I had to reach for something as an example. The
general point, however, is independent of the malformed example: that
one can make rafsi out of many type-4 fu'ivla, and these can then be
used in processes which ordinarily produce lujvo to produce new words
which are, in form, type-4 fu'ivla but are readily analyzable to
anyone familiar with the underlying pieces in the manner of lujvo.
