It's in CLL, at least in embryonic form. Pierre worked it out in
more detail.

A fu'ivla-rafsi must always be separated with "y" from any other rafsi.
If the thing between two y's (or between the start of the word and y,
or between y and the endo of the word) is a string of normal rafsi, then
it has to be a string of normal rafsi and cannot be a fu'ivla-rafsi.
If the thing between y's is not a string of normal rafsi, and when
adding a vowel is a fu'ivla, then it is a fu'ivla rafsi.
If the thing between y's is neither a string of rafsi nor a
fu'ivla-rafsi, then we have a non-lojban-word.
