The other way around: {BAI gi ... gi ...}. It can also be used to
connect two sumti
or whatever else geks can connect.

Not exactly.

{lo nu cirla zbasu cu du'i gi selylarcu gi selsaske} is
{lo nu cirla zasu cu selylarcu i du'i bo ri selsaske}.

The two claims are at the same level, and said to hold equally.

In the other case, there is a main claim {lo nu cirla zbasu cu selylarcu},
which has an added reference for equality, a subordinate event
{lo nu (ri) selysaske}.

It's not a big difference, but they are not exactly equivalent.
