[lojban-beginners] "Notebook" (NOT "selbeiskami"!)

[Christa Hansberry <chransberry@gmail.com>]

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!
