"i stag BO" is already allowed as sentence connective so it seems that they would be allowed everywhere that matters. I would be happy with that. (Of course, change X2 would have to include "GI stag BO" side by side with "GI joik BO" and "GI joik stag BO".) Any connection of NUs is pretty nonsensical anyway, and I don't care much for connection of tenses either. (It might be a good idea to eliminate those altogether.) Is there any other connection that would be missing? Jorge
