in order to



I'm mulling over 'in order to', in order to come up with a way of expressing
it.  I think the meaning is the same in:

I have a knife to defend myself.
I have enough money to buy a hat.
He opened his mouth to say something.
She married him for his money.
I kept some of the seed to saw next year.

All these have a notion of intention to them, so I was thinking of using
"por" all the way thru.  But is it a conjunction or what?

Pe kom por ji.   One eats to live.
Go ten hon por xwe.  I have a book for learning.
Xi ten susi bani por kini tomo.  She has enough money to buy a car.
Ta jini ho zbani por bani.  Some women marry for money.
Go pa denwa da por ke do janho ke go pa kini denwa.  I phoned him so he'd
know I bought a phone.

Zi dum kwq?
