mercy


Translating. Looking at: "In the name of Allah, the Beneficient, the Merciful." Obviously starts with CAHI 'by the authority of'; & XAMGAU matches 'Beneficient'. (Question: should i append the honorific?) But there is no word in Lojban for 'Mercy'. I thought of & rejected something like 'law-beyond'... The best i can do is 'opposite-of-revenging' TOLVENFYKAI or TOLVEFKAI, with VENFU.

On second thought, this is exactly what i need.
