That's correct, and it can be used like that in cases = such as {"I found the movie really good," "I did too."}= -> {".i mi mutce co se pluka tu'a lo skina" ".i mi j= i'a go'i"}. It just turns out that this meaning carries over t= o the one we're looking for. We're considering the "as heaven = falls" part of the sentence to be an addition to the original; justice= is being done simultaneously to a *lot* of things, of which heaven falling= is considered a salient addition.

Connectives and tags a= re fundamentally different things, which explains why when we want to use a= tag as a connective, we have to coerce it with the CONNECTIVE TAG BO formu= lation (e.g. .i TAG bo, je TAG bo, .e TAG bo, etc.). Even if we coerced {ca= } into a connective, in your example, we wouldn't be much further ahead= since we can't connect connectives. (A bit too meta.) We need to find = a different approach.

Let's examine the meaning of what you want to say: "even= " in this case is carrying a meaning of "one wouldn't expect = the main event to occur when the tagged event does, but it does!" so t= o remark on this, let's just use {ji'a}. {.i vudypai ca lo ji'a= sai nu lo tsani ca'o farlu}.

Is it possible (and if so, how) to have multiple tags/connec= tors?

Let me explain what I mean.

On= the new jboselkei (thanks for getting it back up again qx4096), I'm tr= ying to translate this:
"Let justice be done even as heaven = falls."

And in trying to get the flavor of the "even= " part of the phrase, I think it's a kind of mixture of "ca&q= uot; and ".u". =A0But the form "ko'a broda ko'e ca .= u ko'i" is not valid. =A0It's possible to mix tags like "= pu ca" or "ca bai", but I guess logical connectives are diff= erent?
