I personally favor "-vu'u" because it means that there will be one less
cmavo to memorize.

I agree with this reasoning, but CVV cmavo space is more limited than CVC.
vujnu is two syllables, so is -vu'u, so brodyvujnu => brodyvu'u is
shorter in text but not in speech, while vujnybroda =>
vunbroda/vujbroda.

On the other hand, maybe we should wait to see what lujvo arise using this
word before we decide whether it needs initial, final, or rafsi at all.
