[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.
