It's the first sentence, but maybe I misunderstood. what's a terbri, and how can you identify a bridi if it's not a sentence? what is predication? i thought that it would be stating the predicut, what the subject is, or does.
Sent from my iPod Which passage in chapter 5 gave that impression? From what I understand, the bridi can be thought of as the whole sentence. The selbri is the relationship word that pulls the whole thing together, and the terbri, which are often sumti, are the places.
"sentence" isn't quite the right word, actually, since you can have bridi nested within a sentence e.g. "lo gerku ku nelci lo nu pinxe lo djacu". I would say that the whole thing is a "sentence". The whole thing is also a "bridi". "pinxe lo djacu" is also a bridi. And "lo gerku", "lo nu pinxe lo djacu", and "lo djacu" are all sumti as well as terbri.

oh wow. what other dames do you have for that book? speaking of cll, it looks to me, from chapter 5, that a bridi is a sentence without the selbri. am i understanding this correctly because if so, why would you want to use a bunch of sumti without a selbri? the sentence wouldn't make s5se, it seems.

Sorry... I just think it's cool that it has a whole bunch of names and well, we're also known for giving long-winded answers for no real reason, haha.

You could have just said "CLL".
Sent from my iPod It's one of the CLL's many names. * The Complete Lojban Language * The Red Book * The Codex Woldemar * The Book
It's the language's complete grammar description. Orika Okrent, who wrote "In the Land of Invented Languages" says that the CLL is one of the most complete grammatical descriptions of any constructed language. Calling it "The Red Book" stems from the colour of the cover, whereas "The Codex Woldemar" which is just an overly fancy way of referring to it, comes from its author's name, John Woldemar Cowan.
