    What's the Lojban for "nutrition"? I'm thinking of a lujvo with "cidja"
    and "sabji" (food supplies nutrients), but there's also the food supply
    (farmers supply food), which would be another combination of those roots.

    It has the same place structure as "cidja". Based on the gloss, I think it
    would refer to the parts of food that supply energy: protein, carbs, and fat.
    It doesn't apply to the vitamins and minerals, which are necessary to use the
    energy. And it wouldn't do for "nutrition", which is in some senses abstract.
