Something like {fanva zoi gy. ___ .gy. la lojban. le glibau ma} ? Or is an
x1 required?

That sounds useful. Also for the other way around (for "what does ___
mean?", if a translation is what is desired): {fanva lo'u ___ le'u le glibau
la lojban ma} -- "What's the English for ___?" or "How would you say ___ in
English?".

Thanks!
