Sounds reasonable, but in what case would "zu'edji" be preferable to
plain "djica"? I find two relevant hits for "zu'edji" with Google. The
first one is:

    mi pu pensi lo nu do zu'edji lo nu cusku lu pixra li'u

which seems like a fancy way of saying

     mi pu pensi lo nu do djica lo nu cusku lu pixra li'u

or just:

     mi pu pensi lo nu do skudji lu pixra li'u

(Though probably "krici" or "jinvi" would make more sense than "pensi".)

The second hit (from the "cmaci" article in wikipedia) is:

  .i le selpla be la .xilbert. zu'edji lonu gasnu loza'i lo cmaci cu
se jicmu lo jdari ke .aksioma jicmu

I asume a "cu" is missing in front of "zu'edji", but a "selpla"
wishing or intending to do something is strange. Also "se jicmu lo
(...) jicmu" is kind of redundant. I would suggest something like:

  .i lo selpla be la .xilbert. cu nu gasnu lo nu lo cmaci cu jdari se
jicmu lo .aksioma ciste

or similar.

OK, but same question as for "zu'edji". In what case would "zukpla" be
preferable to plain "platu"? (No hits for usage of "zukpla".)
