The three meanings can be unambiguously expressed thusly:

I don't see a semantic difference between (2) and (3); am I missing
something?
{mi na ge nelci gi djica} is "It is not that case that I both like
and want," so (by DeMorgan's Law) {mi ga na nelci gi na djica}. mu'a, if {mi
ja'a nelci .ije mi na djica} then 2 is false, but 3 is true.
