Is GA GI strictly Polish, given the GI? The more
general gek gik, which includes things like {genai ... 
ginai ...} does not even have the full operator
content in front.

There is {I jek BO} for tight grouping but that won't cover
all cases. For example {broda i ja tu'e brode i jo brodi 
i je brodo tu'u} can't be done with just {bo}. (This is all
purely theoretical though, because such constructions are
utterly incomprehensible without detailed analysis anyway.)
