jbovlaste import: lujvo mentioned in the word lists lang en

This page contains a list of lujvo that I (Robin Powell) created programmatically. All the lujvo listed here (that say "not found in database", at least) are those that are mentioned in the gismu or cmavo lists but don't have active definitions in jbovlaste.

If you make one of these words, it is polite to remove it here, but don't worry about it *too* much.

-Robin

Also, some of these lujvo are not actually in the canonical (lowest-scoring) form. Please check their canonicity with jvocuhadju or some such.
