My compliments.  This is how I've thought Lojban word making should 
properly proceed: to look up translations into multiple languages to see 
how they express them.  This also tells us when a borrowing is appropriate: 
if other languages borrow rather than make a tanru or do a 
loan-tanru-translation from the roots in the other language, it probably is 
better as a fu'ivla than as a lujvo.
