Things like {CVCrnC...} or {CCVnrC...} etc could come from a short or long rafsi. Even though such words are unlikely, even simple things like {rutrceraso} could be misleading if {rutrV} was a gismu. Would {rutnrzberi} be understood as rut-n-rzberi or rutn-r-zberi? Type 3 fu'ivla are clumsy in any case, so I don't see much advantage in adding to the confusion with 3-letter rafsi. mu'o mi'e xorxes
