A Haskell implementation of the Lojban lujvo-making and lujvo-scoring algorithms.

You can try it online here.

Lojban is a constructed human language. The root content words in Lojban, such as cabna (current) and djedi (day), can be smashed together into compound words called lujvo, such as cabdei (today). This process follows a non-deterministic algorithm called the lujvo-making algorithm. Another algorithm exists to score its outputs for brevity and niceness: the lujvo that is assigned the lowest score is often chosen as the dictionary form of a new compound word.

My program takes list of content words, generates all possible lujvo, optionally scores each of them, and then optionally selects the best result.
