Subject: Usage of selbri vs. bridi: is a selbri a text or a relationship?
Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 21:46:50 -0700
X-Mailer: Apple Mail (2.936)

I have a little question.

In http://www.lojban.org/publications/reference_grammar/chapter5.html  
and http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Lojban/Selbri, "selbri" seem to refer  
to words and text. But according to Jbovlaste, apparently bridi are  
texts, and selbri are the relationships that the texts represent. Is  
Jbovlaste or the reference grammar/Wikibook tutorial incorrect? Or are  
they somehow both correct? When would one use the word "bridi" as  
opposed to "selbri"?
