What is "win" in Elkaril?

[Debegduk ing Debegduked]

Or "victory" for that matter? I can't seem to find either in the lexicon.

I was gonna make a compound for you, but I can't find any fitting words...There's ggimusha, "competition", and tad, "ally, support", but not much else...

I've always loved the gloss for bbuj: "batshit insane".

[Debegduk ing Debegduked]

Yes, neither of those really seems to lend itself to the problem. Thanks for making the effort, though! How do I ask Zompist? Just put his name in the subject line?

You wait for me to get around to it.

To prevail, as a physical fact, is k?nd (literally 'cause to be on top'). The related purposive (to defeat an enemy or win glory) is q?d.

The opposites are ch?nd and q?d.

Sorry, Mark: I hope I didn't sound as if I was making a demand. Wasn't meant as such.

Thank you very much. Incidentally, would nk?ndur?l then mean "victorious people"?

Incidentally, would nk?ndur?l then mean "victorious people"?

That's a little baroque... just nk?ndaj would do. (The n- already indicates 'person', and -aj pluralizes it.)

[Debegduk ing Debegduked]

Many thanks! Nk?ndaj it is!
