Re: [Ladekwa] "Electorate"

In other words, "electorate" or "district" becomes two words instead of one. That's not too bad if you introduce the specific use of "district" the first time, and then leave it to context thereafer.

To "byetye" you could add 'political' or 'voter/voting' to get the specific kind of district: "byetye dyeswinomo" - 'political district'; "byetye bawcanomo" or maybe "byetye sa lubawcami" - 'voting district'.

dyeswi [P-s noun] - politics.
  [Etym: government/nation/politics + profession/endeavor]
dyeswinomo - political.

bawca [AP-s verb] - vote, cast a vote.
  [Etym: vote/opinion/choice/female + activity]
