That interpretation is highly ambiguous. "by the standard of me" is polysemous
w.r.t. judgment and comparison. That's the reason why I would like to know
what it means to put a material object/individual into this place.
No, stevo is right. It IS ambiguous, but that's because you asked about a specifically ambiguous construction (a bare "mi"). If you had said "...lo ka mi jinvi lo du'u ce'u fenki" that would unambiguously state you are judging it by the x1 to be fenki by the standard you consider something to be fenki. If you said "...lo ka karbi ce'u mi", you be asserting that it would be by comparison to you. By just saying "mi" it could be either (or even possibly more wild ideas involving "mi"). I merely asserted that most people would probably assume a simple person/people/nation in that piece of fenki would assume a standard of judgment. But if the sentence had be, for example "lo mi mlatu cu fenki lo mi gerku", you would be more likely asserting that your cat is crazy in comparison to your dog...
