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} could possib= ly mean "dedicated to". You'll have to explain.

Well, may be it's not th= at something is wrong with {sera'a/pe/srana} but rather wrong usage and/or = glossing.

srana x1 pertains to/is germane/= relevant to/concerns/is related/associated with/is about x2.
ckini  x1 is related to/associated with/akin to x2 by relation= ship x3.

If we arbitrarily chose parts of thos= e definitions we'd get
  srana x1 is relevant to x2
  ck= ini  x1 is relevant to x2
which is nonsense.

ckini wouldn't= be that. For one thing, you left out the x3, and for another, it isn't "re= levant", it's "related". The Cold War isn't relevant to WWII, but it is rel= ated (by being a direct result of it).

Sorry, it should be = ;
  srana x1 is releted to x2
 = ; ckini  x1 is related to x2 by relationship x3

Well, by that definition, srana is {ckini fi zi'o}, whi= ch makes them synonyms in the same way that litru is to klama (litru =3D {k= lama zi'o zi'o}).

Haven't y= ou read my previous post? I mean that choosing words from full definitions = ARBITRARILY can lead to this result which is nonsense.
ju'o it's = all bad glossing.
I suggest that srana refers to topic and ckini = means "to be associated with".
to dedicate is {finfriti}, {tecu'u= } etc.


(Btw, in my view, zi'o doesn't say that there is no such thing as whate= ver place it's in, but just that it's not important. For example, {ko'a kla= ma zi'o zi'o ...} doesn't mean there /isn't/ an origin or destination, it j= ust means that they don't matter. Dissenters should use zo'e instead.)
<= /div>

I think the CLL says almost the= same.
 
<= div class=3D"gmail_quote">
 
 
If {srana} reall= y gives us thematic role then all the other "is relevant to" meanings can b= e assigned to {ckini/seki'i}.
