  Yes, don't let lindar and his dialect contingent mislead you.  It DOES
serve a purpose, but it can be worked around, as well.  Its purpose is to
mark which word/phrase in a bridi that is the main relationship.  Can it be
worked around?  Yes, but as Pierre mentioned, it means properly closing off
all open structures before then.

   So, what would you use in its place?  That depnds entirely on what needs
terminating.  If nothing needs closing, the you don't need it.
