I have no idea why "mi" is in the gismu list, but you're a bit misguided about 
cmavo. First of all, some cmavo do have place structures, but I think you 
don't need to know that yet. Secondly, when you stick a cmavo into a sumti 
place, it just DOESN'T HAVE an article. It's a rule. The grammar is defined 
so.
