Ugh! What fu'ivla stage uses pronouns as borrowings?
The canonical stages would give something like:

Stage-1: me la'o gy K.O. gy
Stage-2: me la keioz
Stage-3: darxrkeio
Stage-4: ???

That is, assuming Stage-1 and Stage-2 are at all usable for borrowing
verbs (which is very iffy) and that the verb KO would make a good
candidate for borrowing at all (very iffy as well).

{me ky obu} to me would have a very different meaning. For example:

la katis ogorman cu melbi ninmu i ju'i do tu me ky obu
"Katty O'Gorman is a beautiful woman. Look, that's her!"
