Are we so sure {stanruasabi} isn't a type-3 fu'ivla? The fu'ivla types are just a convention anyway. I know the Book says the "tail" of a type-3 fu'ivla should start with a consonant, but a glide {ua} is _nearly_ a consonant. Furthermore, syllable analysis (using camxes) gives us {sta,nr,ua,sa,bi} which has that telltale consonantal syllable.

So I say {stanruasabi} is type-3 and fine. What do you think?

As you say, it's just a conventional name, nothing really hinges on that. I agree it makes sense to include such things among type-3. But personally I'd go with a full type-4, maybe "uaxsabi".
