I agree with Pierre.

Since both a zi'o-counterpart and a zo'e-counterpart would make sense
in mekso, there seems to be a need for a new PA to be a zo'e
counterpart. It would be best to leave tu'o as a zi'o-counterpart,
because that is how it is in the Refgram.

(I'm assuming that the Refgram is more set in stone than the English
glosses-cum-definitions of cmavo.)
