They are hard to find because they come from the old noralujv
list and don't have votes, so they can't be found by "Search", but
there are actually three words in jbovlaste:

<http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/natlang/en/revolution>
<http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/natlang/en/revolutionary%2c%20to%20overthrow%20a%20government>
<http://jbovlaste.lojban.org/natlang/en/revolution%2c%20coup%20d%27etat>

(That's not to say they are good choices.)

The literalists will cringe, but you might also want to consider thr etymology
and use {carna}, with x1 the thing that changes, x2 the aspect in which it is
turned around, and x3 the orientation or goal of the change.

{lo brace'u cu carna lo te cupra lo gundi} might describe the industrial
revolution, for example.

{jecta nuncarna} could then be "political revolution".
