{ce'u} is used within {ka} abstractions to indicate the place where
the property holder goes, much like {ke'a} in noi/poi relative clauses.

For example:

   mi mutce lo ka ce'u dunda
   "I am very much of a giver."

   mi mutce lo ka dunda ce'u
   "I am very much of a gift."

   mi mutce lo ka dunda fi ce'u
   "I am very much of a receiver."

   do mi zmadu lo ka ce'u dunda
   "You are more of a giver than me."

   do mi frica lo ka xo kau da bruna ce'u
   "You differ from me in how many brothers each of us has."

etc.
