That is how Latin and Greek make and-chains of more than 2, if they use their
after-the-second-word particle: Latin {Virgilque: Cicero Virgilque Caesarque};
{Akhilleus Agamemnon te Odusseus te}.
But how to say "A's B and C's D": {A B C D je}, and show where the left
argument of the `and' stops and the right argument starts? Or should it be {A
B C je D}, as in Latin and Greek?
