Nora's glosser (a DOS program) glosses lujvo according to their components 
within a text. But that is the English and not the Lojban 
expansion. brabarda comes out as "big+big" on the gloss line.

She also has a lujvo-making program which I think also gives the English 
gloss for a single Lojban lujvo, but there may be an option to merely 
expand them to components.
