jaspu sounds like a good candidate for this.

One of the glosses of jaspu:

permit ; artifact or document rendering something allowed or legal

First, I think jaspu should be at the end, because all these things are
more ???types of??? jaspu instead of ???types of picture??? (for example).
Second, I disagree with japyvla for the reasons I have already stated
(valsi was the problem, not jaspu).

Currently, jbovlaste will accept data for 70 languages.
