The disposition became a little bit wrong, so therefore I send this mail again. .ienai I don't understand the need for a fu'ivla for such a non-specific word. When I now look up the words tile/shingle/scale used in the proposed definition for {imbrike}, these words seem to have different meanings, and therefore produce a rather vague pe'i brivla. So if the intention is to have a word for the more general concept "roof covering", I suggest the lujvo {drugadri}: g1 is a roof covering for covering/sheltering roof d1=g2. {rudyta'o} suggested by la remod seems to be (too?) specific, since not all roof coverings are made of boards. Another type of roof covering is for example "roofing tile" (the intended word?), {drustaku}: s1 is a quantity of/contains/made of flooring tile(s) made by s2, of composition s3, in form/shape s4, for use on roof d1. But if the intention is to use the very specific meaning "a very specific shingle", it would be useful to have a fu'ivla. But why a stage-4. Do we really have to fill the jbovlaste with odd looking stage-4 fu'ivla (unless they seem especially useful like {iklki} and {fi'ikca}). I wouldn't know what the hell {embrice} is if someone use this word in a conversation, but with {stakrembrice} I would at least have a clue. I know that some lojbanists seem to dislike, and therefore avoid stage-3. But in my opinion I think stage-3 should be standard. The reason for this is that they add a subject category to the word (by which you for example could distinguish words like {cmacrnintegrale} and {dinjnintegrale}, CLL 4.7, or the difference between the plant, the spice, the seed or some other part of a particular genus). Additionally, I do like the phonetic variation of different kind of words in lojban, from the simple klama to the crunchy sound of the consonant cluster in stage-3. Also I think stage-4 should almost ONLY be introduced "where a fu'ivla has become so common or so important that it must be made as short as possible" (CLL 4.7). By the way, there have been a lot of discussions of glossary on the mailing list, but these discussions far from always result in words added in jbovlaste.
