"mibrpamdoi" is a type-3 fu'ivla, and as "mi" doesn't have a place structure, 
I'm baffled as to what it might mean.

The main use I know of for the rafsi of "mi" and "do" is to express 
grammatical person: mibma'o, donma'o, fo'arma'o, fo'erma'o (the last does not 
exist in Indo-European, but there are some languages that have it).

As to why "mi" doesn't have a CVV rafsi, it's probably because the obvious one 
was already taken by "minde".
