Actually, there is one example in the reference grammar. You were careful to
avoid non-specific references, except in this example:

9.4)    mi dunda le cukta do .ije mi lebna lo rupnu do
        I give the book to-you, and I take some currency-units from-you.

9.5)     fi do fa mi dunda le cukta gi'e lebna lo rupnu
        to/from you I give the book and take some currency-units.

You say these two mean the same, but what if {do} is not singular?

With Randall's rule, in 9.5 it can be different currency units for each you.
(Changing to {le rupnu} avoids the problem.)
