I don't know how detailed you want the translation to be, but I think "invite" has a component of enticing. Allow is "you may do it if you want (I may not care whether you do it or not)", while "invite" is more like "you may do it if you want (and I will be glad if you do)". Maybe {xlura} is closer. Also, x2 of {curmi} is an event, so if you want to use {curmi} you really need something like: ro da poi se cecmu zo'u curmi lo nu da ... because the quantifier has to be outside the permitted event. > For "vote", jbovlaste gives "cmicu'a", although I don't know how widely > accepted that is. The place structure of cmicu'a is "cm1=cu1 votes for cu2 > among choices cu3 in voting group cm2".

I've used {pagbu} for "x1 participates in event x2", so how about something like: ro se cecmu cu .e'e pagbu lo nu cuxna lo trukamni be la uikimedias mu'o mi'e xorxes To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
