the {noH QapmeH} is indeed pretty straightforward for "to win a war", but does the {lujbe'lu'} mean that we can say {noH lujlu'} for {someone lost the war} ?

also, are the {noH Suv} and {noH ghob} acceptable, for "to fight a war" ?

recently, we said that we can write {may' Suv} and {may' ghob} for "to fight a battle".

two questions:

if we want to say "fight a war", are the {noH Suv} and {noH ghob} acceptable ?

and how do we say "win a war/battle" and "lose a war/battle" ?
