Mark Shoulson corrects me: *la ty cannot be proper grammar. However...

sumti-5<99> = KOhA # | letteral-string # /BOI/ # | LA CMENE ... # |
                        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        (LA | LE) sumti-tail /KU#/ | LI mex /LOhO/ | LUhI sumti /LUhU#/ |
        ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
        ZO any-word # | LU text /LIhU/ # | LOhU any-word ... LEhU # |
        ZOI any-word anything any-word #

sumti-tail<113> = [sumti-4] [quantifier] selbri | quantifier sumti
                                         ^^^^^^
selbri-6<154> = ...  (number | letteral-string) MOI # ...
                               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

So at least: la ga'e ty moi == "that which I call T'th"

I don't think the "li" route is clear but I don't have time to check it...
