I'm currently working through *Lojban for Beginners* and writing the vocab 
lists and my answers to the exercises in a spiral notebook.  I want to 
label it "Christa's Lojban Notebook", or something along those lines, in 
Lojban. But when I look up "notebook" with my Lojban dictionary app, all it 
gives me is "selbeiskami"; I'm guessing that's short for "se bevri skami" 
which is NOT what I'm after. So, I figured I'd try to figure it out myself, 
since apparently the authors of Lojban dictionaries are such tech-heads 
that they've forgotten what a notebook is when it's not a portable computer.

But now I'm stuck - Is a notebook a writing-surface type-of book (thus 
"terci'acku"), or a things-written type-of book (thus "selci'acku")?? 
Originally, I wrote the former; it is a book that is a writing surface. But 
then I thought about the word "selpeicku", which L4B gives as the work for 
"manifesto" - and that is a book that expresses thoughts; one can't think a 
book! So now a notebook being a things-written type-of book, since it 
contains things-written, makes sense too. Though I'm still personally 
leaning toward the first one...

So, in summary, is there a commonly used Lojban word for a notebook (a book 
for notes, not a se bevri type-of skami)?

Thank you!
