Yes, except:

   1. bridi/statement/sentence, not predicate/selbri. "plana" is a
      selbri (predicate); "do plana" is a bridi (sentence).

   2. {du'u} relates three things, not two: x1, x2, and the syntactic
      content of the {du'u} itself.

Or, in lojbanic tautologies:

   lo du'u <anything> kei bridi
   (the x1 of du'u is a bridi)

   lo du'u mi broda do kei bridi la'e zo broda mi ce'o do
   ("mi broda do" is a bridi with selbri "broda" and sumti "mi", "do")

   da du'u <anything> kei de .ijanai da smuni de
   (the x2 of a du'u means the x1 of it)
