It's the only way to say "lamda(x) x loves x".

Each ce'u gives a new variable, you see.

lo ka ce'u prami ce'u — The property of something loving something,
which may be a different thing.

lo ka ce'u goi ko'a go'i ko'e zo'u ko'a prami ko'e — The property of
something loving itself; only one variable.
