History: ja'e

Source of version: 1 (current)

!!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 <effect> is wanted, then do <cause>). 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.
