I agree to kpreid. In fact, la jbofi'e says:
------
[1(2[terga'o1 (blocked thing(s)) :] ti this here)2 [is, does] «3terga'o
being blocked»3]1 .i `.' [4(5[selga'o1 (inaccessible thing(s)) :] ta that
there)5 [is, does] «6selga'o being inaccessible»6]4 .i `.' [7(8[ganlo1
(closed thing(s)) :] tu that yonder)8 [is, does] «9ganlo being
closed»9]7

.i `.' [10(11[terkalri1 (given access) :] ti this here)11 [is, does]
«12terkalri being given access by open portal»12]10 .i `.'
[13(14[selkalri1 (reachable) :] ta that there)14 [is, does] «15selkalri
being reachable through open portal»15]13 .i `.' [16(17[kalri1 (open
thing(s)) :] tu that yonder)17 [is, does] «18kalri being open»18]16
-----
That is to say, x3 of ganlo/kalri is something being blocked / given
access.


Moreover, the note of the defintion of ganlo says that "a semi-permeable
membrane" is also suitable to ganlo. In such a case, x3 of ganlo/kalri in
the meaning above is very useful. For example:
lo vi boxfo ti kalri lo vacri gi'e ganlo lo djacu

That is to say, as long as "a semi-permeable membrane" is said to be a
kind of ganlo, lo pagre is more important than lo ve pagre for general use
of ganlo.

From these points of view, I will "correct" the definitions of ganlo and
kalri in lojban and some other languages. If you don't agree with la
jbofi'e, kpreid and me, just vote down and add another definition.

Thank you. I used to understand it incorrectly.
Russian definitions of kalri and ganlo changed.

I hope you'll change the definition in French facile in the google
spreadsheet.
