First, the sumti associated with me'e should be "zo reskuis." not "la reskius" (it should be referring to what the name is, which is a word, rather than a symbol that the word is called by). But the other problem is that "me'e", like all, tend to modify the entire bridi, so this means that you are referring to the act of buying as "Rescue". Suggest instead "...terkavbu po'u la reskius. zi'e goi ry." --gejyspa
