There is something I don't understand, how {daksti} means "anguish-stopper"?
According to the information I have, {dak} is the rafsi for {dakfu}, knife;
how "knife-stopper" comes to mean "anguish-stopper"?

dunku (duk du'u) x1 is anguished/distressed/emotionally wrought/stressed by
x2

I think the intended lujvo was {duksti}, right?
