Isn't "zefler" to specific? And "zezor" is the negative version(?).

Could you explain the meaning and usage of zejror, zeslir and zetrur?


I based these words for "if" on Lojban equivalents.  The Latejami basic word for "if" is "citesye" (zeslir) ("if, as long as, provided (that), in the event, on condition, if it should happen that, etc.").

zefler = if and only if (Lojban .o)
zejror = if, logical implication.
zeslir = if, as long as, provided (that), in the event, on condition, if it should happen that, etc.
zetrur = if, in the possible world that….[Lojban].
zezor = if, in the alternate world (not this one) that….
