Inode is a number used to locate a file or directory, so it's the wrong
word for this purpose. I'd suggest either "file or directory", or to
coin your own word (filerectory?).

I coined the word wmde to stand for "Window manager or desktop
environment", because in many cases you can use either to fulfill the
same basic purpose.
