Etymology

From Lojban.

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /sɛlbɹiː/

Noun

selbri (plural selbri)

1. (Lojban grammar) A word acting like a predicate, which is immediately preceded by one sumti (“argument”), x₁, and usually followed by one or more sumti (“arguments”): x₂, x₃... up to no further than x₅. It is analogous to a verb in natural languages (non-constructed languages).

   A selbri together with its associated sumti (if any) forms a bridi (“sentence/predication”). A selbri without any sumti is called an observative bridi (“sentence/predication”).
