It's a file-kind-of getting IMO, rather than a > getting-kind-of-file. (Though I'd be more inclined to use "read" and "write" > rather than "get" and "put".) You don't need to specify what it is that you're opening or saving. That's for the file chooser to decide, it's not contained in the keywords "open" or "save". So, {cpacu, punji}, or {tcidu, ciska}, {broda, vreji}, or some {broda, tolbroda} pair for precise symmetry. > > You want vreji. > > Or {datnyvei}, which is what GnomeNewWords has (www.lojban.org appears to be > down right now, so see the old Wiki page: > http://nuzban.wiw.org/wiki/index.php?GnomeNewWords ).
