Re: Re: [lojban-beginners] What is the Lojban word for......

But again, the x1 of jivna is only a competitor (one of the participants of the auction, in this case). That's why the x1 of jinga is better for the winner. (And mine is aligned with vecnu)

I would prefer {jvive'u} with

meaning
{ko'a vecnu ko'e ko'i poi jivna ko'u ku'o ko'o}

In English:

"x1=v1 sells-on-auction x2=v2 to x3=v3=j1 for price x4=v4 with-other-competors x5=j2"

so "the auction" would be {lo nu jvive'u} "the winner" is {lo te jvive'u}

The reason for my preference is that an auction is a special form of sale, so having it aligned with {vecnu} would make it easier to remember.

P.S. BTW, I found that try to write the lojban gloss greatly helps when trying to create lujvo!
