That's how it is. jV is for some other types of connections as well:
sentences ".i je", termsets "pe'e je", the never used and utterly
useless abstractor connection ("nu je ka"), MEX operators ("su'i ja
vu'u") and tags ("pu je ca"). And A is not only for sumti connections
but also for MEX operand connections.

Yes, but what I'm saying is that you don't really need different words
to make that distinction. "lo zdani je lo zarci" is still different
from "lo zdani je zarci". And in fact that's how it works for example
with "joi", the same word is used in both types of connections.
