"-me'a" follows the same pattern as "-mau"/"-zma".
"ko'a rodme'a ko'e ko'i ko'o ko'u fo'a" means
"ko'a mleca ko'e lo ni ce'u broda ko'i ko'o ko'u fo'a". At least I think 
that's right; I'm not sure where to put lo ve mleca.

E.g. "mi nelme'a do lo cakla" means "I like chocolate less than you do." This 
is not to be confused with "mecnei", e.g. "mi necmei lo cakla lo najnimre" (I 
like chocolate less than oranges). "neizma" and "zmanei" are their respective 
antonyms.
