PROPOSED CHANGE: Add "tag BO" as a joik. (Essentially BAI BO can be used wherever {joi} can be used. RATIONALE: The possibility of using them as connectives already exists. This would simply allow the afterthought form to be used as well. Some of them are very useful (and have already been used in practice) e.g. maubo, me'abo, du'ibo, ba'ibo. NOTE: This change is an extension. It does not affect any existing grammatical text.
