An about, a thematic focus, is more specific than that. cfika2, for instance, may be as much relevant to cfika1 as cfika3 may be -- a work
of fiction cu srana both its plot and its author (and possibly many
other things). Consider:

la .alis. cfika sera'a lo nixli

This doesn't necessarily say that the plot revolves around a girl -- it could as well be saying the work is dedicated to a girl.

I'm sorry, I don't see how anything based on {srana} coul= d possibly mean "dedicated to". You'll have to explain.

Well, may be it's no= t that something is wrong with {sera'a/pe/srana} but rather wrong usage= and/or glossing.

srana=A0x1 pertains to/is ger= mane/relevant to/concerns/is related/associated with/is about x2.

ckini =A0x1 is related to/associated with/akin to x2 by relationshi= p x3.

If we arbitrarily chose parts of those d= efinitions we'd get
=A0 srana x1 is relevant to x2
=A0 ckini = =A0x1 is relevant to x2

which is nonsense.

ckini wouldn&#= 39;t be that. For one thing, you left out the x3, and for another, it isn&#= 39;t "relevant", it's "related". The Cold War isn&#= 39;t relevant to WWII, but it is related (by being a direct result of it).<= br> =A0

If {srana} really g= ives us thematic role then all the other "is relevant to" meaning= s can be assigned to {ckini/seki'i}.

=A0
