Surely with your reasoning it also imparts the information that "lo
gerku cu pamei" and "lo gerku cu remei" and "lo gerku cu cimei", and
"lo gerku cu pai mei", and any number of other things. Why would the
predicate "no mei" impart information if none of the others do?

Saying of something that it is nomei is kind of contradictory.

I think "no gerku cu zvati [ti]" is more efficient (and more clear).
