Re: [lojban-beginners] Libraries: attempted lujvo coinage



why not just use {ckusro} (which already exists in jbovlaste) and {ponse}.  {le mi ckule ckusro cu na'e ponse la <a particular book>}

Or {ckule be fo mi be'o na ckusro be la <a particular book>} -> [something] is a school of me type of [NOT] library with book <a particular book>.

The second example there seems clunky to me.  I think the base relationship is {ponse} or something like it.

I attempted to say something along the lines of:
My university's library does not have <a particular book>.
preferably without having to use {pe}. My attempt was using a somewhat long lujvo, seljitckusro, which I defined as:
x1 is a library containing books x2 managed by x3.
(The underlying tanru was {se jitro ke cukta sorcu}.)
and then the construction (with the book being the last sumti of the previous sentence) was:
.i ri na se seljitckusro fi lo balcu'e be fo mi
Does this seem reasonable? I don't have much practice coining lujvo but am attempting to get better at it.
