But note that this sort of thing is used all the > time as ".i ri'a bo" and such. As CLL says, not all I+tag+bo makes sense, only ones where the argument of the underlying bridi can be an event. broda .iri'abo brode means le nu broda cu rink le nu brode (I may have this backwards), except that it asserts broda and brode, which the rinka version does not. Neither bangu nor se bangu can reasonably be an event, so such sentences are basically false and/or nonsense. -- A: "Spiro conjectures Ex-Lax."
