I don't think {srana} is correct. If it is correct, then what do you
define srana as? And what's the difference between srana and ckini?
I think {srana} is "x1 is related to x2 by a relevant/pertinent relationship"
as opposed to {ckini} "x1 is related to x2 by relationship x3". {ckini} is
thus more general but it can also be made more precise by filling the x3.
In the case of {pe}, there is no place for an explicit x3, so defining
{pe X} as {poi ke'a srana X} seems like the better choice. But you could
get a similar effect with {ckini} by defining it as {poi ke'a ckini X lo vajni}
or something like that.
