OK, I think what we can confidently conclude so far is that "so nim" versus simply "nim" serves to link the "taking part" that follows to what precedes it, irrespectively of the exact nature of the relation.
This strongly supports the idea that "palden pbren" and "so nim gas mich o" are parts of the same sentence.
What I'd like to find somewhere is "so nim" following anything containing "palden" or "balden", and look what's there in between them. This 250 page book is a soothing and pleasant reading!
