That corresponds to Lojban jo'u:

  abu jo'u by prami cy jo'u dy

Termsets group things differently:

  nu'i ge abuboi cy gi by.boi dy prami
  {A C} and {B D} love.

A more natural example in English would be:

  A gives {B to C} and {D to F}.
  abu dunda nu'ige by boi cy gi dy boi fy

Each term in a termset fills a different place.
Does the fact that not even John Cowan can get this straight
prove that termsets are unusable and should be avoided?
