I've been wondering about the state of the Lojban equivalent to the word "bless". Jbovlaste gives ruxyzau, however this is for blessing an action, not an object. I suppose one can use tu'a here... though it might not be clear exactly what the abstraction is. There is also (
ces)toldapma, though it might be ambiguous... it could also mean "x1 releases/un-condemns x2 from damnation x3", paralleling tolvimcu, and (in my opinion) an ugly word to use for bless.
I guess one could get a word for "bless" that parallels the place structure of dapma through something like zanseldimgau, but it is rather long.
