Another related thing:

        mi e do prami da

expands to:

        mi prami da ije do prami de

Is that right?

This is assuming that {e} distributes like {ro}, as seems we concluded
from the discussion with Randall Holmes.

This makes sense, because

        mi e do prami lo prenu

should mean

        mi prami lo prenu ije do prami lo prenu

and there is no reason to suppose it is the same prenu. Is that right?
