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 ause 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. krotalu, stramoni.
- C/CVCV E.g. salmandera, mlongena.
- CC/C E.g. fasxolarkto. This includes all type 3 fu'ivla.
- CCCVV E.g. spra'i, spraile
- CCCC E.g. damskrima.
- VVV E.g. bru'a'a.
- VV not valid in lujvo. E.g. srutio.
- initial V E.g. ernace.
- final VVCV E.g. kri'ibe, spraile.
- 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. salmandera, mlongena, braklundera.
- CCC followed by a 2 mod 3 number of letters. E.g. spra'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. spraile, stramoni.
- 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?
- This needs some restriction. kri'ibei is not valid because lekri'ibei is a lujvo.
- 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.
