The predicate "x1 praises/congratulates x2 for x3" is something
of a hole in the vocabulary. I haven't seen anything truly satisfactory
yet.

You could make up another gismu..."djuki" could fit in there, sounds like "jubilations" ;-D Just kidding.

I guess gleki would be acceptable here in most cases.

If what you want is to praise or congratulate someone, then you
could say ".i'e", "io", ".i'o" or some combination of them.

The predicate "x1 praises/congratulates x2 for x3" is something
of a hole in the vocabulary. I haven't seen anything truly satisfactory
yet. Maybe something like "zarsi'a" from zanru sinma?

"la .internet." is often used.
