Are you sure you mean zanru? It doesn't have an x3:

zanru zar     zau  approve
x1 approves of/gives favor to plan/action x2 (object/event)

I would still like to use cnemu, because a congratulation is more than
a simple approval, it implies some merit on the part of the person being
congratulated. How about zarne'u?

zarne'u  c1=z1 c2 c3=z2 (c4=nu zanru)
         x1 congratulates (rewards with approval) x2 for action x3

Perhaps i'e? (to ji'a za'o se glajukpa toi)
