lujvo with non-existing rafsi

[Remo Dentato]

After a couple of years I exported the jbovlaste content and downloaded in a spreadsheet which, for me, are much easier to use as a vocabulary.

Among the new (for me) words there is: dignocklaji (http://vlasisku.alexburka.com/dignocklaji)

Personally I would have used a cmevla or a fu'ivla for "Diagonalley" but that's not a problem.

The doubt I have is to use the unallocated rafsi {noc} to create a word is it permitted?

I thought that the idea behind lujvo was to be able to guess the meaning of the word by looking at the gismu the rafsi were assigned to.

Is this no longer the case? (or maybe it was never the case and using not-assigned rafsi was always allowed).

mu'e mi'e la remod.

My first thought on seeing a non-allocated rafsi is that it's a typo for something else. Have you considered that possibility?

I would react the same way. However, reading the description on jbovlaste it's clear that this has been done on purpose to recreate the same effect of "DiagonAlley" in English.

I would say that using a non-allocated rafsi should be discouraged as much as possible.
