Not exactly; it's any form starting with a permissible initial cluster, and which is not a lujvo, such that prepending CV produces a lujvo. {branda} and {spa'i} are slinku'i. The front-middle method is explained in BRKWORDS.TXT. It consists of looking for a sequence of front-middles of lujvo, such as CCV and CV'V, followed by one lujvo back, or one long or CVC rafsi, depending on what part of the algorithm you're in. phma
