Considering only words that meet these criteria: *End in a vowel and have at least one consonant pair in the first five letters, ignoring apostrophes *Have no 'y' *Have at least two syllables *All adjacent letters are valid in brivla, and initial pair, if any, is valid *Have no four consonants in a row, none of which is syllabic, here are some kinds of valid fu'ivla. Please check this for r and n corner cases and any other errors. *Any word of the form V(V)CC(C)V. E.g. iglu, uiski. **These depend on the "((When are pauses mandatory|pause between stressed cmavo and brivla))" rule for validity and are likely to be misheard. **** You could also say that they rely on the mandatory pause before all words which begin with vowels, and are not likely to be misheard. **** Only the stress differentiates, say, ''.iglu ta'' from ''.i gluta''. ***** Same thing that differentiates ''miglu ta'' from ''mi gluta'', nothing special about ''iglu'' here. **** The example was ''.iglu zbasu''. ''.IgluZBAsu'' is ''.iglu zbasu'', whereas ''.I.gluZBAsu'' is ''.i gluzbasu''. ***** Same thing happens between ''MIgluZBAsu'' which is ''miglu zbasu'', and ''MI.gluZBAsu'', which is ''mi gluzbasu''. Nothing special about ''iglu'' here. *Any word of the form V(V)CC(C)VV, where the final VV is a diphthong. *Any word beginning with a consonant cluster, or with the second syllaboid beginning with a non-initial cluster, and containing **VCVCV E.g. kr__otalu__, str__amoni__. **C/CVCV E.g. salma__ndera__, mlo__ngena__. **CC/C E.g. fasxola__rkt__o. This includes all ((type 3 fu'ivla)). **CCCVV E.g. __spra'i__, __sprai__le **CCCC E.g. da__mskr__ima. **VVV E.g. br__u'a'a__. **VV not valid in lujvo. E.g. srut__io__. **initial V E.g. __e__rnace. **final VVCV E.g. kr__i'ibe__, spr__aile__. **VVC/C other than in initial CVVC/C **VVCCVV other than in initial CVVC/CVV **C/C followed by a number of letters multiple of three. E.g. sa__lm__andera, mlo__ng__ena, braklu__nd__era. **CCC followed by a 2 mod 3 number of letters. E.g. __spr__a'i **CVCV followed by a 2 mod 3 number of letters. **VV (other than in initial CVV) followed by a 1 mod 3 number of letters. **initial CVV followed by a 2 mod 3 number of letters. **initial CVC followed by a 1 mod 3 number of letters. **initial CCVV followed a 1 mod 3 number of letters. **CCC and a vowel in a position that is 2 mod 3 counting after CCC. E.g. spra__i__le, stramon__i__. **any other string that can't appear in a lujvo or lujvo minus initial CV. All of the following are subsumed in the above. *Any word beginning CCC and having a vowel in a position that is 2 mod 3, not counting apostrophes. E.g. spraile, stramoni. *Any word of the form CCV(CCV)+CV where one of the CC's (not the first) is replaced with C/C. E.g. mlongena, braklundera. *Any word of the form CVC/CVCV, CVC/CVCCVCV, CVC/CVC/CVCV, etc. E.g. salmandera. *Any word beginning VC/CV or VVC/CV or VVVC/CV. E.g. ernace. *Any word beginning with a consonant cluster, or with the second syllaboid beginning with a non-initial cluster, and ending VCVCV. E.g. krotalu. ** Can be generalized to: Any word beginning with a consonant cluster, or with the second syllaboid beginning with a non-initial cluster, and containing VCVCV or C/CVCV. E.g. krotalu. *Any word beginning with a consonant cluster, or with the second syllaboid beginning with a non-initial cluster, and containing a vowel pair that is not valid in lujvo. If it would be a valid lujvo on changing the vowel pair, this is disputed. E.g. srutio. *Any word beginning CVCCCC, where the CCCC includes a non-initial pair, or CCVCCC. This includes the ((type 3 fu'ivla)) with full gisms. E.g. damskrima (which is disputed because the 'm' and 'r', though syllabic consonants, are not actually syllabic in this word). ** The CCVCCC part is wrong. leCCVCCCa is a lujvo form. *Any word beginning with a consonant cluster, or with the second syllaboid beginning with a non-initial cluster, and ending in CC/CV or C/C/CV. E.g. fasxolarkto. ** Can be generalized to: Any word beginning with a consonant cluster, or with the second syllaboid beginning with a non-initial cluster, and containing CC/C or C/C/C. E.g. fasxolarkto. *Any word beginning CCVV. E.g. kri'ibe. **This needs some restriction. ''kri'ibei'' is not valid because ''lekri'ibei'' is a lujvo. ***One possible restriction is "with a number of letters, not counting apostrophes, that is a multiple of three". Any others? ****''kri'ibroda'' has 9 letters, but ''lekri'ibroda'' is a luvjo. It has to be "beginning CCVV and with a number of letters that is 2 mod 3", but then ''kri'ibe'' is not an example of this rule. This is not an exhaustive list.
