The rule is that bindings last through all logically connected bridi. By extension, an isolated da-series after the next bare ".i" (or "ni'o") can be assumed bound. To override this assumption, use "da'o" to clear pro-sumti/pro-bridi assignments. -- John Cowan sharing account for now e'osai ko sarji la lojban.
