This is something very strange.

The ce'u in zmadu3 refers to both zmadu1 and zmadu2, individually.

Let's imagine that I'm a boy and I meet a girl. I tell her

{do melbi mi lo ka ce'u clani}

Does {ce'u} refer to {do} or {mi}?

It refers to melbi1. melbi2 is just a subjective observer. The definition makes that somewhat clear "x1 is beautiful in aspect x3".
