One more reply - toward the end of the "Subjunctive" thread, Jorge comes to
this conclusion, which is indeed clear but it _supports_ the idea that
ganai...gi means if...then.

Some examples:

    ganai do mi prami gi ko mi cinba
    "If you love me, then give me a kiss."

    ganai ti solji gi ri mutce se vamji
    "If this is made of gold, then it is very valuable."

    ganai ti solji gi mi ba citka le mi mapku
    "If this is made of gold, then I will eat my hat."

    ganai do mutce gunka gi do ba tatpi
    "If you work hard, then you will be tired."
