[lojban] How to say "depends"?

[Opi Lauma <opi_lauma@yahoo.com>]

Hello,

 

I have a trivial question which I cannot answer. How to say in Lojban ?depends? (in physical or mathematical sence)? In the list of gismu I have found the following two possibilities.

1. lacri [ lac ] rely

x1 relies/depends/counts on/trusts x2 to bring about/ensure/maintain x3 (event/state)

2. fancu [ ] function
x1 is a function/single-valued mapping from domain x2 to range x3 defined by _expression_/rule x4

 

However the first one I do not like since it is related with such subjective terms as ?relies? and ?trusts?. The second option is problematic since fancu is a single-valued mapping and I need to describe many variable function.
