So, I'm confused about BO. (And I don't mean body odor).
What does it exactly do? I see some unrelated functions:
* tanru grouping {cmalu nixli bo ckule}
* causal relations between sentences {ro ractu na'e ze'u
jmive .iseni'ibo la flufis. mrobi'o} and related uses with {i [modal]
bo}
* now I've learnt about using it for tagging sumti with modals in A
constructs: {la loglan e ba za bo la lojban}

Is it really the same {bo} with the same function?
