* broda na brode



{broda na brode} is not a grammatical tanru.

There is however a way to get around this restriction and
obtain a tanru equivalent to {broda na brode} by using 
tanru logical connectives: {broda gu'u na brode gidu}.
(Any other brivla will do instead of du, but du is the 
shortest and least distracting.) 

In fact {gu'u ... gidu} serves as a more powerful bracket
than {ke ... ke'e} within tanru, because it can include things 
with {co}-inversion as well as things with NA and with tags.

{gu'e na broda gi brode} is grammatical, but 
{gu'e broda gi na brode} is not.

Is this a feature or a bug of the grammar?

Why is {ke broda co brode ke'e} not allowed?
