Re: What is the verb that goes with Coopertition?

Competition - Competitive - Competing

So by combining the common parts you get:
Coopertition - Coopertitive - Cooperting

Note that the adjective form is different than the verb form (as it is in competitive and competing)
Looks good on paper, but the middle form is very akward and doesn't seem right to me. How many sylables does it have?
