A normal property's (type rdf:Property) to-direction matches an n-ary concept (type rdfs:Class). 2 mutually inverse normal properties match only 1 n-ary concept, because the meta statements must be identical for both 'to-direction' and 'fro-direction' of the relationship. The normal property's fro-direction is related to the n-ary concept via correspondsToInverse.
