It can mean either. It can also mean "I will grasp something" or "I
will have grasped something" or "I had been grasping something", and
that's assuming that it's obvious from context that "I" am the one
doing the grasping.

{mi ca'o jgari} means that the event you're talking about is
continuous, e.g. "I am grasping", but without an additional _tense_
tag (e.g. {ca}, {pu}, or {ba}) you don't know without context whether
the event is in the present, past, or future.

{mi mo'u jgari} means that you're talking about the end of the event
of you grasping something. Again, it is not specified whether this
event is in the present, etc.
