I don't like using short rafsi for this because it can lead
to ambiguities. 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.
