Logical and non-logical connectives are explained in detail in Chapter 14. For the purposes of this chapter, it suffices to point out that a logical (or non-logical) connection between two bridi which differ only in a modal can be reduced to a single bridi with a connective between the modals. As a result, Example 9.91 and Example 9.92 mean the same thing:
| la | frank. | bajra | seka'a | le | zdani |
| That-named | Frank | runs | with-destination | the | house. |
| .ije | la | frank. | bajra | teka'a | le | zdani |
| And | that-named | Frank | runs | with-origin | the | house. |
|
Frank runs to the house, and Frank runs from the house. |
| la | frank. | bajra | seka'a |
| That-named | Frank | runs | with-destination |
| je | teka'a | le | zdani |
| and | with-origin | the | house. |
|
Frank runs to and from the house. |
Neither example implies whether a single act, or two acts, of running is referred to. To compel the sentence to refer to a single act of running, you can use the form:
| la | frank. | bajra | seka'a | le | zdani |
| That-named | Frank | runs | with-destination | the | house |
| ce'e | teka'a | le | zdani |
| [joined-to] | with-origin | the | house. |
The cmavo ce'e creates a termset containing two terms (termsets are explained in Chapter 14 and Chapter 16). When a termset contains more than one modal tag derived from a single BAI, the convention is that the two tags are derived from a common event.
