The ''[[jbocre: gimste|gimste]]'' defines ''jalge'': x1 (action/event/state) is a result/outcome/conclusion of antecedent x2 (event/state/process). Of course ''ja'e'' derives from ''jalge''.
 
To me it sounds like an unspecified kind of causality: this is the result of that, no matter why.

ja'e .a'o le nu panpi ku ko gunka fi le ka drazba
If you want peace, work for justice.
With-result (hope) peace, work for justice. [literally]
ja'e = with result
ja'e = fi'o jalge
jalge = x1 (action/event/state) is a result/outcome/conclusion of antecedent x2 (event/state/process).

You can certainly make this a logical implication statement ("Working for justice implies peace"), but if you want to keep the command nature, it's best to use a modal.It is an unspecified kind of causality: this is the result of that, no matter why.


At any rate, it's a case where causality is implied, but the order is reversed from what's expected (i.e., if <effect> is wanted, then do <cause>).
