Here is the answer I wanted to look up earlier:

BNF:

  tanru-unit-2<152> ~= ...
    ME # sumti /MEhU#/ [MOI #]
    | (number | lerfu-string) MOI #
    ...

Rats:
  tanru-unit-2 <- ...
    ME-clause free* (sumti / lerfu-string) MEhU-clause? free* MOI-clause? free* 
    / (number / lerfu-string) MOI-clause free*
    ...

moi has two places it is grammatical, one when dealing with numbers
and the other when used with ME.  I was not previously aware that
the non-numerical use of MOI required ME.
