Correct, d00d. {le ni ce'u prami be mi}, and by analogy {le ka ce'u prami
pe mi}, or {le ka ce'u prami poi ckaji mi}.

The planners did indeed intend both ways; but the planners didn't know
about {ce'u} at the time...

But with seljvajvo (collective groan erupts), you can put the x2 of ni
inside a nil- lujvo; it's just the very last place, which makes it
unpredictable: {le nilprami be ce'u mi bei do bei mi} . So of course, {pe}
is safer.
