I like that "capture relations" metaphor. May
I use it?

Yes. English verbs capture relations as well.
We could say "went" is a verb, but it is also 
part of "the place I went to", "the one who went"
which we call nouns. Not as terse as in lojban, but it
manages to capture the relationship of "going" all the
same.

Uh. Sorry. Exactly what were we supposed to disagree
about? I'm lost.
