ja'e

ja'e

 
On the justice page, the question was brought up about how to
translate "If you want peace, work for justice." You can certainly
make this a logical implication statement ("Working for justice
implies peace", but if you want to keep the command nature, I think
it's best to use a modal, and best one I can find isn't mentioned
elsewhere on this page: ja'e ("with result"). This gives:
ja'e .a'o le nu panpi ku ko gunka fi le ka drazba: "With-result
(hope) peace, work for justice."

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

The 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.
