.i mi ca zanru ru'e

Looking at the grammar, this is a particular case of 
tanru_unit_B_152 : ME_477 sumti_90 MEhU_gap_465 MOI_476
Thus "ta gerku moi" is ungrammatical, but "ta me lo gerku moi" is 
grammatical. ("me'u" is the terminator for "me" and can be elided here.) So 
what does it mean in the general case?
