[lojban-beginners] Confused about definitions

[Juanes <gihemm@gmail.com>]

Hi, 

I found following definitions in the English-Lojban dictionary 2010 and I'm confused, hopefully somebody can give me a simple explanation:

bridi (bri): x1 (text) is a predicate relationship with relation x2 among arguments (sequence/set) x3. Also: x3 are related by relation x2 (x3 is a set completely specified)

selbri (se + bridi): x2 = b1 (text) is a predicate relationship with relation x1 = b2 among arguments x3 = b3  (ordered set)

terbri (te + bridi): x3=b1 (text) is a predicate relationship with relation x2=b2 among arguments x1=b3 (ordered set)

To me it looks as all three definitions are the same, (a part from the x1, x2, x3inversion) is that so or is it me not getting it. Also does someone know what b1, b2 etc refer to?

Thanks,

.juanes.
