Here's an idea:

Write a list of lujvo using a small set of rafsi and their translations. Then 
put a few translations and see if they can make the lujvo. Be sure to include 
a few hyphen letters and variant rafsi.

gerzda	doghouse
lange'u	sheepdog
lamyzda	adjacent-house (next door)
gerfi'e	dogfish (probably not the shark)
mlafi'e	sidefish (flatfish)
?	houseside
?	sheephouse

Throw in some three-rafsi lujvo, as the rules for inserting 'r' start being 
counterintuitive.
