[bpfk] Alternatives to {bo} in {i ... bo}?



Two bridi can be connected by {i SUMTCITA bo}. {bo} has two effects: it 
prevents an immediately following sumti from being taken as the object of the 
preposition, and it groups the bridi more tightly and right-associatively than 
surrounding bridi connected by just {i}. One may want left-association:

lo filso cu lacpu lo mamta bakni lo carce .icabo lo cifybakni cu pinfu 
.itezu'ebo facki lo jei la .iaves. kau gasnu lo nunbilma

(This is an abbreviated version of 1 Samuel 6:7-9.) Is there a way to connect 
three or more bridi with prepositions without forcing right association?
