Baby Words: Effort.

[Robin Lee Powell]

I'm at something of a loss to express happiness at my babies putting
out a real effort at something. That's A Big Deal, because the
latest research indicates that praising effort (rather than innate
ability or accomplishment) is one of the best ways to raise happy
adults.

I've been doing stuff like {.i do nandu troci .io sai}, but it's
pretty unsatisfying. Ideas?

Not really, but why .io, not ,ui?

I do both; depends on my mood.

In particular, when F is trying to crawl, and failing, and getting
oh so frustrated, {.ui} does not seem appropriate.

For effort as exertion (what I think you want):
camtoi
c1 effortfully tries to do t2 by method t3, as perceived by c3.

tolsurla
s1 expends effort/is actively/effortfully involved in doing/being s2 (activity)

For effort as attempt:
zukte
x1 is a volitional entity employing means/taking action x2 for purpose/goal x3/to end x3.

I was thinking bridi; I find the current (incredibly fuzzy)
semantics of {dai} unsatisfying. Nailing that shit down is on the
list.
