zenba:jdika =3D jmina:?

_zenba_ means, x1 increases in property x2 by amount x3.
_jdika_, x1 decreases in property x2 by amount x3.

_jmina_, x1 augments x2 by amount x3.

Then, what is the word for "x1 reduces x2 by amount x3"?

mi'e sanxiyn.

how about using "jmina" with a negative value for x3?
