Because I thought {se du'u} was the wrong thing...
Let me work through this:
du'u : x1 is a predicate expressed by sentence x2
se du'u : x1 is a sentence expressing predicate x2
1. bridi/statement/sentence, not predicate/selbri. "plana" is a
selbri (predicate); "do plana" is a bridi (sentence).
2. {du'u} relates three things, not two: x1, x2, and the syntactic
content of the {du'u} itself.
Or, in lojbanic tautologies:
lo du'u <anything> kei bridi
(the x1 of du'u is a bridi)
lo du'u mi broda do kei bridi la'e zo broda mi ce'o do
("mi broda do" is a bridi with selbri "broda" and sumti "mi", "do")
da du'u <anything> kei de .ijanai da smuni de
(the x2 of a du'u means the x1 of it)
