You understand that with the current official grammar, that doesn't work, right?

A: .i ie pei xamgu
B: nai .i na xamgu

The bit between the two consecutive, non-quoted [I]'s is not
grammatical. In at least that one example B's text must be taken as a
separate text.

Syntactically, "li'o" is not a jufra, it just attaches to ".i", but
I'm not sure how this has to do with anything anyway.

Yes course, with a single speaker/author, Lewis Carrol.

(Strictly speaking, it won't completely parse with the current
grammar, but the breaking points are very few. In principle it could
have been a single text, yes. It is not a conversation where texts are
exchanged between two or more peoiple.)

I really don't know what you're saying with that. We are considering
conversations, i.e. (in my understanding) exchange of texts between
different speakers, not something like a book which is one long text
by one speaker/author.
