Furthermore, you coud use "to'e nibli" to mean "x1 disentails /
logically implies the opposite of x2 under system x3".  You could
also probably do something interesting with a lujvo from "logji
drani" and to'e.

A specific example would help, but in this case you may simply want
"to'e drani" or "srera".
