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



  I like it very much.  However, your definition is slightly off.  Since you want to denote the WINNER of the competition in your definition, I would go with  jinga instead.  (jigve'u=
v1 auctions v2=j2 to v3=j1 for cost v4 at auction j4 (over competitors j5, if you must)), making the actual auction itself xeljigve'u)

I don't have much experience coining words, but I thought I'd have a go.

What about something based on {vecnu} = sells and {jivna} = competes ?

jvive'u => v1 auctions v2=j4 to v3=j1 for cost v4

and then to translate "I attended the auction of the house" it would be { mi zvati lonu jvive'u lo zdani }. What do people think?

Also, is your name Sam Spade or Greg? uinai

auction ?

(as in, where people bid cash for an item)

I couldn't find it in any of the dictionaries or on google.

I've left the thread title open for future use :-)
Thanks,
Greg
