A language's semantics can be considered part of the language's
grammar. Right use of Lojban requires right knowledge of its semantics
among other things.

What types of things different sumti are, are sparsely defined. muvdu1
is "object", jinzi1 "property", and so on; bisli1 currently lacks such
specification, not because it can be either an object or a property
but because people haven't bothered to write the definition in an
optimally consistent fashion. The grammar, in the broad sense, does
have as much ideas about what place can have what kind of sumti as
they are defined or commonly understood: it may not validate {lo muvdu
cu jinzi mi} if it isn't some metaphorical expression. Likewise, {lo
djacu cu binxo lo bisli} can be grammatical or ungrammatical depending
on the consensus the community may have over binxo2 and bisli1 as well
as other places.
