As I said before, it's not a question of who is "allowed" to, but of how broadly understood you will be. In this case, I can't imagine anyone failing to understand you. > For that matter, I can't find lujvo "kadnygu'e" either.

You seem to be confusing "entry into jbovlaste" with "official". There is no such thing as an official lujvo (yet; maybe some day there will be a printed dictionary with them, but not today); jbovlaste is a community project that is treated as central, but there is no particular official-ness to it. > So how does a newly constructed lujvo become official? It doesn't; see above. If what you meant to ask was "So how does a newly constructed lujvo get into jbovlaste?", the answer is: Someone with jbovlaste write access adds it. -Robin
