1. long-form rafsi for gismu are derived directly from the gismu-form:
the gismu itself for final position, and the gismu with final vowel
replaced by 'y' for non-final position; cmavo have no long-form rafsi.
As you will note below, many gismu have no short-form rafsi and must use
the long forms in both initial and final positions.
2. any cmavo or other word may be incorporated into a lujvo
independently of the rafsi system using the cmavo "zei":
'any-word' zei 'any-word' forms a brivla
3. All forms of lujvo built out of exactly the same component
words/rafsi have identical meanings. There is no stigma attached to use
of long forms, which can be especially useful when your audience is not
familiar with the rafsi, and is not likley to be looking up words in a
word-list. Long-forms also may be preferred to guessing when you are
too lazy to use a list yourself, and you suspect that your audience WILL
be using one - there is nothing like trying to interpret a lujvo when
the unambiguously resolved components resolve into something totally
strange.
4. There are rules for building lujvo-forms that are fairly simple. The
lujvo-making algorithm is given at the end of this document.
