needs to be improved?


As long as there are connectives running (logical or otherwise) the sentences -- in the sense of quantifier scope -- continues.  When you come to a mere separator, the scope ends (left over from Logic).  But, of course, we often allow it to continue informally, so (da'o} is needed to be sure.  Note that {da'o} also clears {goi} assignments and things like that as well as quantifiers.
