"broda" etc. are assignable predicates; it doesn't make much sense to make 
lujvo from them, though the first two have rafsi, so you can 
say "rodbo'e". "manga" and "mango" are content words; one may want to 
say "mangyska" and expect the listener to know whether he means "color of a 
fruit" or "color of a comic" without resorting to context.
