Lojban In General

Said the following on IRC:

15:59 <dbrock> .i lo mi kibro nirna ca'o ru'i nai spofu
16:00 <cmacis> .uu

16:12 <phma> kibro ki'a?

16:12 <cmacis> srana la'o gy internet gy

16:13 <phma> ma vlakra?

16:13 <cmacis> ti

16:14 <phma> ti goi ma? .i ma vlakra zo kibro?

16:15 <cmacis> mi na morji

Anyone know anything about this word? The first thing I thought
was "keyboard", remembering a coworker's puzzlement on encountering "kiboodo"
in a Japanese text, but apparently it isn't.

It means "internet" or "cyberspace". It's an experimental gismu
invented by xorxes and it relates etymologically to the word "cyber".

I don't really know the place structure and I mostly use it as a seltau,
but I assume it would be something like "x1 is a cyberspace/virtual
world/internet inhabited by x2 and implemented by infrastructure x3" or
something like that.

So {kibro nirna}, of course, is "internet connection".

So what do you guys think should be the place structure?

x1 is a cyberspace composed of people x2 communicating in protocol x3?

What I had in mind is something like:

"x1 pertains to the internet/cyberspace in aspect x2"

i.e. a very general cultural gismu type of place structure (the final -o was
chosen because of that, something like "x1 is cyberspatial" maybe).
It was not meant to be more specific than that. Since it will usually
be used as a modifier, the more general the more useful.
