Field Aliases


Some of the commands below have entries like "[field]", meaning
that they take a zoi or " quote containing the name of a field on an
object. Some of these have aliases in Lojban, as follows:

description
le ve skicu
name
le cmene
alias
le dukse cmene
detail
le tcila


So that, for example, instead of saying "zoi zoi name zoi po mi cu
binxo lu .i na cinri li'u" you can say "le cmene po mi cu binxo lu
.i na cinri li'u".
