libru, n. Book or computer record written in Glissia or by Lyrisclensians. An example of a culturally-coloured loanword. This term was introduced by the Lilitai because, at first glance, they believed Lyrisclensian scholarship to be so impeccable that it was derived from divine truth through some supernatural means, and was not actually the product of research. As such, the term gradually grew to include all documents of comparable quality. The equivalent term for less perfect/exhaustive works is neitu.

etymology: From the Latin liber.
attestation: Introduced post-contact in mid-1071 lilpo.
