* ((Football)) (''nu boltipyjvi'') (I assume this is for what Americans would call soccer?) __That's how I'd used it, yes -- nitcion__ ''To keep it clear, let's use the terms'' soccer ''and'' american football ''since then there is no ambiguity over who gets their use of football chosen. - ((kreig.daniyl.))'' * How about ''damskrima'' for fencing? ''Where does it come from?'' Spanish 'Esgrima', French 'Escrime', something similar in Italian. France is the birthplace of fencing as a sport, so I say go with the French. ** ''damskrima'' is not a valid word according to vlatai, though I'm not sure why. ''damrskrima'' sounds like it's a type of smoke. ''eskrima'' is a valid type-4. ''skrima'' is a slinku'i. *** It should have been dambrskrima. I don't like type-4s and prefer tanru to any fu'ivla, and I thus propose ''dakfu xarnu bandu damba'' (dakfu xarnu is used to mean sword in all the lujvo involving swords on my jvoste; fencing in English is derived from the same Anglo-Saxon root word as defense). - mi'e. ((kreig.daniyl.)) **** "knife stubborn"? Do you mean ''dakfu xarci''? '''Yes.''' * I have used ''kelcrkroke'' for croquet (Alice translation). Croquet is a sport, isn't it? :) ''More so than golf.'' * ((Archery)) * xarbe'e (''bye; the extra phantom team added to an odd number of teams that pair to play games'')
