(With John Cowan's consent) I extended the definition of brivla
to "second consonant belongs to a cluster" rather than "cluster
in first five letters". The restriction in the number of leading
vowels is not well motivated. The number five just comes from the
particular restrictions on the length of vowel strings of gismu
and lujvo, but fu'ivla need not be so restricted.

Indeed.
