I am under the impression that termsets were a rarely used and poorly
understood concept in lojban. I think I finally understand (at least one
use of) them, though, and it's all thanks to Fantine (from Les Mis).

Here are two lines from "I Dreamed a Dream"

> There was no ransom to be paid
> No song unsung, no wine untasted

the verb "to be" is elided in two places in the second line.

Similarly, the phrase "To err is human; to forgive divine" elides the verb
"is".

Now, neither of these would use termsets in lojban because the lojban
translations would differ by bridi rather than by sumti and so use bridi
tail connection rather than termset connection, but I feel like I finally
grasp the concept.
