If they are equivalent (I'd like to see somebody argue that they are not!)
why not use jei as it's shorter?


Since we sem to be unclear about what {du'u xukau} means (a thread that
petered out when {ce'u} warmed up), and it is also fairly clear that the
meaning of {jei} is not settled, it seems premature to say they mean the same
thing (unless the point is that we're confused about both of them).
