x1=xu1 declares/specifies x2=xu2=r1 causing x3=r2.
The gismu xusra is broader than just declarations. This definition is meant to narrow down or modify xusra for a more declarative, active, authoritative sense, e.g. as in xusra's ‘[can be used for epistemology of authority]’, rather than mere claims or witnesses. See also: zgaxu'a (claim), xu'ai (I declare), xu'asmu (define), ki'irxu'a (assign / designate), te'iski (synonym), tinbe (obey / conform), javni, catni, ponse.
