UI describe the preceding word, or the grammatical scope of that
structure. {pe'a mi donri} is all figurative: the scope is the scope
of the invisible {i}. {mi donri pe'a} scopes to {donri} and {la pe'a
donri cu donri} scopes {la donri} as would {la donri ku pe'a}. {pe'a}
also has a rafsi, which can't end a lujvo due to ending in a
consonant: {mi pevdo'i} probably means the same as {mi donri pe'a}.
