Er, the logical connectives that end with U state a non-causal
relationship between two elements ? But I don't know exactly how to
use { .u } { ju } ....
I think { gi'u } may be enough to express that there is no causal
relationship between { mi gleki } and { mi pindi } . I just don't know
whether the bridi after { gi'u } must a statement or just a suppose.

That is hard to understand for me.
In fact I want to mean { lonu mi pindi na mukti lonu mi na gleki
}&{lonu mi pindi na srana lonu mi gleki } ( ra'anai lonu pindi ? )
