Re: [Ladekwa] "Electorate"

Sounds good to me, Stevo.

 

When I get the time, I'll post a translation of the clause in the constitution of which I was orginally thinking.

I am looking for a Ladekwa word for "electorate". I note that the word for "elect" is "dyebawpu" and the word for "area" is "byetaw", which could form the basis of a word like "dyebawbyetaw", or a government+vote+constituency+other natural location. However, I am very open to suggestion about this, so what does everybody think?

Thanks,

Geoff

How about "bawtye"?  It already includes the idea of voting area.

bawtye [P-s noun] - precinct, ward. [Etym: vote/opinion/choice/female + political area]
