Are ijabos right associative with each other?

broda ijabo (brode ijabo brodi)?

Oh, here's another one: the NU-clause option of tanru-unit-2. Does
that need associativity? Or what about terms-1 or selbri-4 (or tag)?

Oh, here's another weirdness thing (indented for clarity):

statement-2 <-
   statement-3 (I-clause (jek / joik)? stag? BO-clause free* statement-2)? /
   statement-3 (I-clause (jek / joik)? stag? BO-clause free*)?

Isn't that identical to

statement-2 <- statement-3 (I-clause (jek / joik)? stag? BO-clause
free* statement-2?)?

It'd be nice to simplify.
