It does. It's better than nothing, but I think there must be a way to do better.

I'm still behind {pasta}. I'd be hard pressed to find a better word than that.

I'm not sure if you're aware of my hatred of fu'ivla in general?

uanai i si'anai mi je'u nelci lo brivla poi zo'oi VCCV tarmi ke'a

It has nothing to do with the shape of fu'ivla, although the lower classes are ugly as sin (like cidjrspageti). Using fu'ivla feels like giving up, to me, especially since Lojban is supposed to be designed to make any conceivable concept from combining root words (lujvo).
