i've looked up what a predicate is, and, to me, it sounds like the predicate is the selbri. therefore, how can there be such a thing as a predicate relation? isn't that a selbri relation, which doesn't make sence?
Sent from my iPod Basically, anything that has a place structure can be a selbri. "selbri", by the way, is a lujvo formed from "se bridi". The definition of bridi is:
x1 is a predicate relationship with relation x2 among arguments x3
The x2 is the relation, which is where selbri comes from: sb1=b2 is the relation of predicate relationship sb2=b1 among arguments sb3=b3 (Note: bN is the place in the def. of bridi, sbN is the place in the def. of selbri).

Correct. In fact, even simpler: tanru.
ta tcebra gerku zdani => "That is a huge dog house"
"tcebarda" is a lujvo, "gerku" and "zdani" are each gismu. But the whole thing "tcebarda gerku zdani" is the "selbri".
