Lojban is based on predicate logic, not term logic. In term logic a
proposition consists of two terms, the subject and the predicate.
That's obviously not the case in Lojban.

You can reproduce term logic by restricting lojban sentences to those
of the form: "term1 me term2"

(with some restrictions on what kind of terms you may use. For example
term2 should not have an outer quantifier).
