In Lojban the form matches the meaning, at least in this case. The relevant part of the grammar is: selbri <- tanru-unit+ tanru-unit <- tanru-unit-2 linkargs? tanru-unit-2 <- BRIVLA / KE selbri KEhE / ... linkargs <- BE term (BEI term)* BEhO? i.e. the linked arguments are absorbed by a tanru unit before it can modify or be modified by another tanru unit. So I don't see any mismatches between form and meaning here. > In this > case, it is fair to assume that the referent is > going to be the same, but obviously this will not > always be the case.
