JL: There's a nice word for "candle" in the lujvo list: laktergu'i

JL: What would be a good way to say "to light a candle"? I think it should be
JL: the same word used for "to turn on the lights" or "to start the engine", but
JL: I can't think of anything for this at the moment, other than {cfagau
 tu'a...}

How about {terca'a}? i.e. be an agent in the activation of a device, or
maybe {cfaterca'a}, an initiative sort of agent...
