I have used {ru'a} in connection with {ca'e} to define new objects/concepts
by stating postulates about them. In this situation, you are not just stati=
ng
or supposing something, you are making the statement true by the power
of definition.

{ru'a ro bu'a ro bu'e zo'u
  go lo kabu'a cu selkai dukti ca'e lo kabu'e
  gi lo kabu'a cu ka to'ebu'e}
