The shape that CLL (or at least the refgram; I don't have a hardcopy CLL) 
says is experimental is a rafsi fu'ivla lujvo, including such forms as 
{tci'ilykemcantutra} and {glaukyne'o} which are accepted by both me and 
jbofi'e.

As I read the refgram, {ala'um} is invalid, though I think it should be valid 
since {'um} is not a possible word, and {srutio}, {letcue}, and {damskrima} 
are all valid. I heard somewhere about a rule that a brivla cannot have four 
letters in a row which are consonants not in "mrnl", or something like that, 
but I don't see that in the refgram. The example I came up with when RPC was 
developing that part of jbofi'e was {matststststststsaka}. vlatai accepts 
{mastrstsrstaka}, which I find a lot harder to pronounce than {damskrima}, 
which it rejects.
