Re: [lojban] Please, the best explanation of {le} vs. {lo}

[Анатолий Гашев <volishavas@gmail.com>]

Oxford Dictionary says:
Verb is a word or group of words that expresses an action (such as  eat), an event (such as  happen) or a state (such as  exist).
Predicate is a part of a sentence containing a verb that makes a statement about the subject of the verb, such as "went home" in "John went home".

So,
{Brivla} *is/are* verb(s). Not just *is* or *are* cuz {brivla} has not such characteristic as quantity.

Lojban:
{bridi}: x1 (text) is a predicate relationship with relation x2 among arguments (sequence/set) x3.

So, {selbri} is/are relation,
and {bridi} is/are predicate relationship, or just predicate plus x1-sumti as shown in above dictionary entry.

Selbri are *not* verbs.

Well, indeed. Brivla *are* verbs, not selbri. Selbri are predicates. Although the difference is not that important.
