{mu'o} and {mi'e} are in selma'o COI, so they are normally
followed by a name. {mi'e} is followed by the speaker's name,
all other COIs are followed by the name of the person being
addressed. It is possible to say {mi'e xorxes mu'o}, two vocatives
with the name left out in the second one, instead of {mu'o mi'e xorxes},
which is a single vocative construct.

mu'o mi'e xorxes
