Actually, .i is a long scope version of .ije, not unspecified
connection. And i+stag+bo does assert both sentences unless
there is a negation involved.
I have interpreted .i as defaulting to .ijoi. There is a connection
between the two sentences, because they are being expressed either by the
same person or sequentially in time, but there need not be a logical
connection. I agree that the scope is indefinitely long, though I am not
sure what scope means when applied to nonlogical connection.
