Along with Sustel's reply, I will add that -DI', ghIq, and ngugh
describe WHEN you get ready to fight, not WHY.
The timing could be coincidence, and not cause/effect.



Also with vaj/-mo' (at least to me), while some uses could be done with
either one, I still see a difference.

"I saw the signal (that warns that the enemy is coming), so I got ready
to fight."
You could use either vaj or -mo'.  I would use vaj.
I don't get ready to fight /because I saw the signal/.  I get ready to
fight /because the enemy is on the way and battle is about to begin./
But this part could be just me.
