I didn't think twice about it until you asked, but it is an odd use of
{nibli}.  I think maybe you meant to say that not the tergi'u
themselves but their meanings are logically related to the meaning of
the whole.

Someday we'll have lots of specific Lojbanic grammar terminology and
we'll get used to it and we'll start saying that it's hard to discuss
Lojban's grammar in English.
