That's correct. Selfsegregating morphology doesn't strike me as very
useful except for learners of the language, but Livagian is not
designed to be easy to learn, and indeed has polymorphemic products
of productive morphology (as opposed to words that are etymologically
derived from two morphemes) only in the closed-class lexis, where the
lack of selfsegregating morphemes is not problematic. Furthermore,
because of part of the way the language is defined, homonymy is
impossible, so the "sukero" problem never arises.
