Need a gismu or lujvo...

[Chris Bogart <cbogart@quetzal.com>]

I need a gismu that means something "functions".  How would you say "This
perpetual motion machine doesn't really work"?  "spofu" comes to mind, but a
PMM isn't really broken as such -- it's something that couldn't have worked
in the first place.

"le cinmymuvmi'i cu na gasnu le ri se minji" is the best I can think of...
is there a single word that will work?
