Is it 5847, for lujvo of the form CVV/CCV such as {baupla}? That's 6000 (six letters) - 70 (CVV rafsi) - 60 (CCV rafsi) - 3 (three vowels). (Hm, looking through The Book, I see that CCV/CVV can also reach that count, e.g. {plabau} -- a planning language?) I don't think that can be improved on since you can't have CVVCVV without a hyphen in the middle (for the two-consonant crunch in the first five letters), which would ruin the score, and you can't have more vowels without adding more letters. But I could be wrong. Can someone come up with a lower-scoring lujvo? mu'o mi'e .filip. -- filip.niutyn.
