[lojban] admire



One of the word I had to create for the translation of "le nu makfa
prami" is "admirer".

I couldn't find any suitable word in jbovlaste so I decided to create a lujvo.

Getting back to the word roots, "admire" comes from latin "ad mirari"
that means "to look toward something with wonder (or surprise)".
Currently it as more the meaning of "looking toward someone/something
and approving/liking/considering good what one sees".

For this reason I opted for a lujvo based on the tanru {nelci zgana} =
"looking, liking what one sees".
The resulting lujvo would be:

nelzga : x1=n1=z1 admires x2=n2=z2 for the reason x3

What do you think? Any better suggestion?
