I have a relex of Lojban with completely a priori gismu. It has the advantage that every gismu has just one short rafsi and one long rafsi.

If such a relex exists, then with it we can eliminate the rafsi/gismu distinction.

Let's suppose we drop all the gismu, and keep only their associated rafsi. For CVC and CCV rafsi, we suffix -no or -mo (for those CVC that end in 'n'), and we can make the gismu forms, and for the CVV, we can't make true gismu forms, but we can construct a CV magic word that will bind the previous cmavo and produce something with the grammar of a selbri. Of course, that would just be in the "standalone gismu" cases. For lujvo, we would proceed as normal.

Or you could still produce a true gismu form by infixing for example CVV -> CV-CC-V  (you'd need one CC for monosyllabic CVV and a different one for disyllabic ones, and you couldn't use "Cn" or "nm" as the infix so as not to conflict with the CVC and CCV forms).
