Right! Did we find a good word for "x1 depends on x2"?
I can't think of anything right now. Would {jalge} work?
For example:

le du'u abu jikau by broda cu jalge le du'u xukau cy brode
"Whether A or B broda results from whether C brode."

>My brain died before that thread was resolved, but iirc you

>le du'u Q kau brode".

It still sounds good, but of course we are still missing
a full logical explanation of {kau}, which is another UI
that mucks around with truth values.
