Except that .i is legal at the beginning of a discourse (we built it into
the grammar).  Partly because some discourses are implicit continuations of

since there is not previous implict conversation.  And I don't see the scope
issue -- but I am having some trouble with some of these proposals,
apparently. --part1_4a.1738bfd1.285d3468_boundary--
