There are instances where I'd use "me <sumti>" with something else in x2. The 
most obvious is when <sumti> is a Linnaean name, in which case x2 is a 
subtaxon thereof. For instance, "me la .eragrostis. la .tef." is synonymous 
and equivalent to "pamsrasu la .tef." (an Ethiopian grain used to make a 
bread called injera). It is true, though, that x2 of "me lo broda" does not 
depend on x2 of "broda".

But what does "mi me lo klama be lo zarci be'o lo ckule" mean? "lo ckule" is 
not in any place of "klama".
