For traji, and zmadu, yes, I brought them up because they are similar.
If by "mle" you mean "mli" (milxe), then yes, I think they should
follow the same pattern, and my argument was that nobody proposes
using zmadu or traji (in the intended sense) as prefixes.
I'm not sure what nel/nei is doing here since it's a completely
different thing. And "zmanei" does not mean "ko'a zmadu lo ka ce'u
nelci ko'e", so it's not an example of the kind of -zma/-mau we were
talking about.

You are now talking about tanru, yes?

What are either of those supposed to mean? That you are the person
that mosts likes something, or that some thing is the thing you like
the most?

Do you mean symmetric? Reflexive is something else.
