I just tried to connect two sentences with {.iseca'obo}. It doesn't
parse. I can say {.imu'ibo} or {.isemu'ibo} or {.ica'obo} but not
{.iseca'obo}. Why?

Tell me what "se ca'o" means, and I'll see what I can do to answer your
question.

Hint: it doesn't mean anything; ca'o has no places, and thus can't take
SE.

The effective argument would be "ca'o is symmetrical, and therefore flipping it with se does nothing". ju has no places, yet we use seju.
