Maybe it's good to figure out what this construction means, but I don't think 
that, in general, it's wise to assign a meaning to every construction that 
the formal grammar allows. "mi te.u do du ra'o lo gerku pe naku" I consider 
to be ungrammatical on the second level, even though it is grammatical on the 
first (the formal grammar).
