A termset groups a number of terms into a set so that they can be
logically connected with another set of terms as blocks, when the
predicate is the same for both sets of terms:

mi ti lo nanmu cu dunda
.ije do ta lo ninmu cu dunda

{mi, ti, lo nanmu} & {do, ta, lo ninmu} cu dunda

(nu'i) ge mi ti lo nanmu gi do ta lo ninmu cu dunda

In your example, "cire cilce carce jarco ce'e reci cilce carce cu
jarco", grouping the two terms into a set does nothing because there
is no other set of terms to connect it to.

(Unless you follow CLL, which finds all sorts of weird uses for
termsets, incompatible with their primary use.)
