Reference Grammar Ch.12, Sect.3:
In fact, the relationship will almost always be so close that the predicate expressing r will be either the seltau or the tertau predicate itself. This should come as no surprise, given that a word like ``zdani'' in Lojban is a predicate. Predicates express relations; so when you're looking for a relation to tie together ``le zdani'' and ``le gerku'', the most obvious relation to pick is the very relation named by the tertau, ``zdani'': the relation between a home and its dweller. As a result, the object which fills the first place of ``gerku'' (the dog) also fills the second place of ``zdani'' (the house-dweller).
I don't understand the last part. Why not the first place of "zdani" (the house)? The text previously validates such one of the possible meanings of the veljvo (gerku zdani) as "
dogs which are also houses (e.g. houses for
fleas)", in which the object filling the first place of "gerku" also fills the first place of "zdani".
