Discussion of "atriium"
Comment #1:
cmevla, not brivla

This word is morphologically incorrect. I suggest adding a vowel ("-u" in my preference) or deleting the final consonant (cluster) "m".

The server did not accept my initial suggestion 'atriiume' therefore I tried 'atriium' instead. But it does very spefically refer to a word from latin so that is why I stayed close to the original ( like: spagetis ) It was adopted into English ( and Dutch btw ) without change also.

Oh, yeah. That is a tosmabru. Sorry. I did not pay attention to that, earlier.

It still needs to be a brivla though.

Yes, that makes sense and is good. The right morphology would be that of a fu'ivla, which is appropriate.
> It > was adopted into English ( and Dutch btw ) without change also.
This is irrelevant because we are discussing - in particular - Lojban morphology, which is bijective with the classing of a word. cmevla classing is wrong for this meaning.

You could make the initial syllable "-ar" instead of just "a-". That would eliminate a lot of the tosmabru gotchas. Then you just craft the ending to your preference, so long as it ends with a vowel and follows the form of a brivla in all other properties.

atriium zei kumfa, atriium zei briju depending on meaning chosen might be other choices.

What do you mean exactly? And how do I do that? Also, I applied the suggestions given above and now defined the word as 'artriiume' instead of 'atriium'.

I mean that "atrium" has at least two meanings: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/atrium#English

You may wish to add those lujvo. atriium zei kumfa and atriium zei briju are lujvo. You can enter them as words.
