Connectives are left-grouping, so:

   ko'a .enai ko'e na.e ko'i broda

expands to:

  genai ge ko'a broda ginai ko'e broda gi ko'i broda

= ge ganai ko'a broda gi ko'e broda gi ko'i broda

i.e. Both if ko'a broda then ko'e broda, and also ko'i broda.

Probably not what was intended.

In fact, other than the two basic multiple ".e" or multiple ".a", "...
.e .... e .....e ..." or "...a ... a....a ....", any other combination
of more than one connective is likely to produce unintended meanings.
