Ah, I had wondered that...

Does that mean that, for example {mi viska lo cukta .e lo xatra .e lo penbi}
is equivalent not only to {mi viska gege lo cukta gi lo xatra gi lo penbi}
(I think that's the equivalent parse) but also to {mi viska ge lo cukta gige
lo xatra gi lo penbi}? And is it possible to express the latter sentence
using {.e} but without {ge}?
