* Virtually all compound words can be transformed algorithmically into

(but not politically correct) improvement in Old Loglan, and I think
it would still be attractive in lojban.
Pardon, but how is it possible? Lujvo with internal predicate structure, no?
I would assume in similar manner to how we make "regular" lujvo.
For instance, any {tcebroda} means {ko'a mutce lo ka broda}.
Picking nits (in case nintadni ever read this) but I think you mean "{rodytce} means {ko'a mutce lo ka broda}".
{tcero'e} is naljvajvo for about 80% of possible brode. The only meaningful counterexample is {tcemau} (and its counterpart {tceme'a}) which gets taken over by the usual structure of -mau and -me'a lujvo: {ko'a zmadu ko'e lo ka ce'u mutce ko'i ko'o kei ko'u}. Ah, another one would be {tcemlu}.
