[lojban-beginners] Re: difference between seki'u and ja'e



{seki'u} deals with reasons and justifications specifically.  {ja'e}, based on {jalge}, deals with any kind of general result from a process or action, including physical causes, motivations, what have you.  Or, rather, {seki'u} says that whatever happened was a justification for its sumti, while {ja'e} merely says that whatever happened was a result of its sumti.
