Currently if BIhI is preceded by GAhO, it must also be followed by GAhO, an=
d=20
vice versa. The reason, as far as I can figure out, is to avoid ambiguity i=
f=20
two BIhI occur with one GAhO and nothing else between them. The only way th=
at=20
I know of that this can happen is if an afterthought BIhI joins two phrases=
,=20
the second of which is a forethought BIhI phrase:

mi klama fo le berti jedji'o ku bi'o ga'o bi'i ke'i gi la beNIN. gi la=20
GLApagos.

It is useful, particularly when "mi'i" is applied to a more-than-one=20
dimensional space, to speak of an interval that is closed or open at one en=
d=20
(the center) and neither closed nor open at the other. I therefore propose=
=20
the following change:

*When BIhI is used in afterthought, it can be preceded or followed by GAhO,=
=20
and can have GAhO on both sides, one, or neither.
*When BIhI is used in forethought, it is neither preceded nor followed by=
=20
GAhO. The GAhO, if any, is placed instead after "gi", as is done now=20
with "nai" on logical conjunctions. (jbofi'e claims that it is grammatical =
to=20
put "nai" after the second "gi", but not the first, in a "bi'igi ... gi ...=
"=20
construction.) Is this a sensible change?
