I think he was thinking of {mu'i} and made a typo..? ;) Indeed, I was thinking of sumti tcita like {mu'i} and getting confused because the 'tightest binding' cmavo was being used to apply them as if they were sentence connectives. I think I understand Jorge's explanation. If I understand correctly, the use of {bo} for this purpose just happens to follow from its grammar, having nothing really to do with binding arguments tightly, and being a useful thing to do, {bo} has come into common usage for the purpose. Yes? Thanks for your help, Jorge.
