Jul 14, 2020 at 8:29 comment added Juha Metsäkallas I took a new look at the examples of use of per tio ke in Tekstaro. Quite a many seems to correspond to the English "by that (it means/favours/implies/…"). Given that the Eo prepositions should usually be understood rather literally (e.g. per should be used to denote a tool or a method), it seems more and more to me, that per tio ke is mostly used in an erroneous fashion.
Jul 13, 2020 at 16:34 comment added Juha Metsäkallas I think, that Eduardo's answer covers the general case. I didn't found any "per ke" in Tekstaro and "per tio ke" only from 1991 onwards. At a glance they seem to be of "opinion type", i.e. oni uzu la realan modon as Eduardo said.
Jul 13, 2020 at 15:52 comment added Mona the Monad What about in the inverse case of "per", especially if the "tio" has yet to happen? Would this then still be in the conditional, for the reason you mentioned, or in the volitive this time? My guess is still us-modo, as the "tio" is not necessarily a celo, but instead something that would make the main clause realized.
