View source for morphology: brivla

A string begins with a ''brivla'' if it does not begin with a [[Morphology: cmavo|cmavo]] and consists of any number of [[Morphology: rafsi|initial-rafsi]] (possibly none) followed by a ''brivla-core''.

A ''brivla-core'' is the part of a ''brivla'' that carries the penultimate stress. It can be a [[Morphology: fu'ivla|fu'ivla]], a [[Morphology: gismu|gismu]], a [[Morphology: rafsi|CVV-final-rafsi]] or a ''short-lujvo''.

A ''short-lujvo'' consists of a [[Morphology: rafsi|stressed-initial-rafsi]] and a [[Morphology: rafsi|short-final-rafsi]].

''Note that a ''CVV-final-rafsi'' ''<u>needs at least one</u>'' ''initial-rafsi'' ''<u>in front in order to constitute a</u>'' ''brivla'', ''<u>otherwise it will be taken as a</u>'' ''cmavo''.''

-----------

A ''lujvo'' is any ''brivla'' that is not only a [[Morphology: gismu|gismu]] or only a [[Morphology: fu'ivla|fu'ivla]].
