I've been looking for a lujvo that will mean: x1 rules/speaks in judgment on x2 with regard to x3 by custom/law x4, and have created paitva, as a construct of pajni x1 referees/arbitrates/is a judge determining/deciding matter x2 (abstract) and tavla x1 talks/speaks to x2 about x3 in language x4. Would this be correct, or even approximate? Or is there a better construction perhaps ta'apai?
The rafsi for pajni is pai, and for tavla are tav ta'a, so "paitva" is not a valid lujvo, since tva is not a rafsi for tavla (nor can it be for any gismu: the "-tv-" is a disallowed consonant combination because of different voicing). It could be pairta'a or pairtavla (with an r-hyphen) or pajnyta'a or pajnytavla.
Instead of ta'apai, which falls apart (there's no consonant cluster in the first 5 letters), you can use ta'arpai (with r-hyphen) or tavypai (voicing differences again, requiring y-hyphen). Longer lujvo are also possible: tavlypai, tavlypajni, ta'arpajni.
I don't know whether the choice of lujvo or its definition is any good, but these are the possible forms it can take.
