How about {ju'i}?

Well, it is possible, but it seems to be more directed toward getting people to listen/look at the speaker, rather than shutting up and following proper procedures. Probably the same effect in practice, though.

{stidi sarji}, {stidi kansa}.

Much better! The first is general for pro comments, so I guess I like the second best so far.

The place structure doesn't seem to fit. x3 belongs with x1, not
with x2. I would go with {se zanru}, and the numbers might be added
with {mau} and {semau}: {ko'a se zanru mau li 9 semau li 3}

Did you mean {penmi}, or do you really mean {pensi}?
I like {bavypu'i} for "postpone".

I suppose that compound is malylatno -- what, after all, do you put where and on what (the table)? I meant {pensi}, the general term for considering things, apparently. And it is just (official) consideration that is being intermitted.

Same problem as with {ju'i} above -- and mere attitudinals do not make for easy sumti to talk about the process with.

<<

{fe'o}

Same problems. How do you move to adjourn?

{pensi'u} smells malglico -- we want a coming together of a group, not a bumping into one another by its various members. It may be the best we can do, but it is not very accurate (nor startlingly inciteful as another type of good lujvo would be).
