jinga - 'win'


jinga
jig, ji'a

'win'

x1 (person/team) wins/gains prize x2 from/over x3 [competitors/losers] in competition x4



* also: x1 is a victor
* x2 reward
* x3 competitors here are opponents and in many situations, defeated/losers, vs. the set of those competing for a goal
* x2 may be a specific object, a commodity (mass), an event, or a property
* pedantically, for objects/commodities, this is sumti-raising from ownership of the object/commodity (= posyji'a, posyselji'a for unambiguous semantics)

(cf. cirko, jivna, talsa, cnemu, prali, pleji, sfasa, jdima, jerna, bradi, kargu, kelci)

Oout of time, but a really longish one this time. Next update in a couple of hours for the fifth word ;)
