(However I seem to understand that Solpahi proposes that each {gi} would
introduce only one new term, with the benefit of requiring the
connection terminator {gi'i} much less often, whereas in Zantufa, any
number of bridi terms can appear after each {gi}, so they behave like
termset connectives, and I suppose {gi'i} is required more often there.
Please correct me if I misunderstood.)

{ge mi gi do ti gi ti ta} does not parse in zantufa, but {ge mi ti gi ti ta tu gi ti ta} does. When you start with a gek-termset then each connected unit allows an n-ary termset (of arbitrary length) and then {gi'i} is not elidible if any other terms follow, but if you start with a unary connectand, then each connected unit also must be unary. I think.

Hmm, under Zantufa, {ge ti gi ta gi tu mi} parses as {ge ti gi ta gi tu GIhI mi VAU}, so there when there's only one term in the fist connectand, it does seem to expect one term in each other connectand. However things like {ge ti gi naku ta gi tu mi} parses as {ge ti gi naku ta gi tu mi GIhI VAU}, and {ge ti gi ke ta tu (ke'e) gi do mi} parsefails. Weird.
Maybe there's a bug in there.
