Just a minor nitpick: "brivla" is really a morphological term, that 
contrasts with "cmene" and "cmavo". Every Lojban word is one
of those three by their form. 

All brivla are relationships, but not all relationships are brivla. The
Lojban word for relationship is "selbri". Examples of non-brivla
relationships (or selbri) are {du}, {go'i}, {pa moi}, {me la djan}, ...
