I did think of "denxi'u", but "engranaje" is already in jbovlaste.

We can have competing words in jbovlaste.

 

I don't
completely understand the etymology (though it has a cognate in French), but
it looks like a root "gran" with a prefix and a suffix, not a word with more than
one root.

Right. it's three morphemes. Lujvo don't necessarily consist of roots only, many rafsi don't correspond to a root word.

Here I found an etymology of the word http://etimologias.dechile.net/?engranaje
