[lojban-beginners] Re: Confused about definitions

[ianek <janek37@gmail.com>]

Hi!
Yes, all definitions are the same, but x1, x2, x3 refer to the
predicate places. That means that the following sentences are
equivalent:
{ti bridi ta tu}
{ta selbri ti tu}
{tu terbri ta ti}
b1, b2, b3 refer to the places of the original predicate {bridi}.
