To be honest, I was mostly joking about the fairy tale reference. We can restrict the lujvo meaning as much as we like, so long as the Lojban definition is good.

As for Gleki's remark, in order for an organism to be parasitic, must it necessarily *eat* its host?

For me yes. Although {xaksu} host's resources might be a better definition. But what I meant is that it is not necessarily inhabit the host, so {zdani} is not one of the defining terms.
 
If we consider a tapeworm to be a parasite, then the answer is "no", because the tapeworm eats the host's food rather than the host proper. However, I have no suggestions as to how to reflect this in the lujvo.

It just occured to me that I prefer {mivzdacti} over the other options. Apart from tsani's argument, I somehow overlooked that  {mivzdacti} doesn't need a -sel- to begin with, so my previous post becomes more or less void.
