What is the best brivla for "x intends that p, x intends to p", given thatintention does not entail action (or deliberate inaction) and that, ba'e ti'e,intention is a psychological primitive (i.e. doesn't reduce to a complex of other notions)?
I tend to use {zukte fi} for lack of a better option, but it is certainly a gap
in the vocabulary.
{selzilterzukte} is a bit of a mouthful, and won't easily crunch down to form other lujvo, and furthermore, what one's goals are is not quite the same as what one intends. For example, one can intend something whose natural tendency is to occur unless actively prevented, so long as one decides not to prevent it. But Iwouldn't describe that as one's goal.
We could rationalize it as: mi zukte le nu mi cando kei ko'a.
I think {zukte} is one of those gismu that kills two concepts with one
bloating. Both {zukte fe zi'o} and {zukte fi zi'o} would be useful
words. People end up using {gasnu} for {zukte fi zi'o}, which in
my opinion is wrong.
