Both {pe} and tanru modification are very vague, but
there is a structural difference:

The first one is a sumti built from the selbri {melbi mlatu co
me do}. This selbri can be predicated of something, and {le}
uses this description to get to the intended referent.

The second one is built from a sumti {lo melbi mlatu},
whose referents are restricted in some way by the
referents of {do}.
