words relating to "justice"

I recently noticed that the only words related to "justice" in the Saweli dictionary use the modifier "gi" (equal/same/fair) rather than "ze" (law/justice/court/civilization/purple).
 
sugik = fair, just, equitable.
sugindat = fairness, justice.
 
I have generalized the idea by moving the meaning "justice" from "ze" to "gi". No words had to be changed to accommodate this change.
 
I also created the opposites of these words:
 
su'agik = unfair, unjust, inequitable.
su'agindat = unfairness, injustice.
