Hrm, seems like it might be a good idea for someone to do so, though...

! = ba'ebu
@
# = libu
$ = rupnu.bu
% = ce'ibu
^ = te'abu
& = joibu (already defined)
* = tarci.bu (or asterik.bu)
( = tobu
) = toibu

{
}
[
]
| = grana.bu
\
/
:
;
" = lubu
'
< = me'ima
> = za'ubu
, = ki'obu
. = ? (ibu would be nice, but its taken)
? = xubu

up arrow = ga'ubu
down arrow = ni'abu
right arrow = ri'ubu
left arrow = zu'abu

backspace = sibu (si is probably outside of the grammar enough that sibu
would cause problems, though)

Good words for ctrl and alt elude me. I'm thinking maybe galfi.bu xi PA,
though. (To take into account the very rare keyboards which more modifiers
than ctrl and alt)

(I left a bunch blank, above, because I got bored of it)
