One possible solution could have been making a lujvo from {me}, but it turns out that {me} has no rafsi. As for using {zei} (me zei ckaji or whatever), this doesn't look like a very appealing solution for such a basic and frequent predicate, as the resulting lexeme would be likely at least four syllables long.

"se zei me" would only be three syllables...

Another possibility would be making an experimental gismu or a zi'evla. Running la gimyzba on the translations of "among" in the 8~12 largest world languages gives me {menre} as the best-scoring gismu form that doesn't clash with any official gismu. ("menre" mostly comes etymologically from the Spanish "entre", the Hindi "mem/men", the English "among" and the Russian "sredi".)

I'm not against it. "se menre" is not shorter than "se zei me", but it may be clearer.
