"se zukte" ("selzukte") is an action taken by an actor for some conscious
purpose.  On its own this might be specific for your context, but as
part of a tanru it seems appropriate.  "selzukte valsi", or even the
simpler "zukte valsi", would be an understandable rendition of "verb"
in an appropriate context.

"zukyvla" would be the lujvo.  What's the process to make a lujvo
official?

>btw, is speed "ni sultra" or "nilsutra"?

Both.  The latter (a lujvo) expresses as a single word exactly the same
thing that the former does.
