{mu'o} doesn't signal the end of a transmission. It signals that the next
word is the person/group you're talking to (although it can be prematurely
terminated with {do'u}), and that you are then done.  {mi'e} means that the
next word is your name.

{mi'e ___ mu'o} may have another word following it, indicating whom it was
directed to.
{mu'o mi'e ___} has nothing following it, and doesn't explicitly say whom
it's directed to.
