Proposed definitions
- me (ME)
- Converts a sumti into a tanru-unit with place structure "x1 is/are among the referents of the sumti".
- me'u (MEhU)
- Terminator for ME.
- moi (MOI)
- Converts a number, lerfu-string or ME-converted sumti into a tanru-unit. The place structure in the case of a number is "x1 is/are the numberth among x2 by rule x3". More generally, for any sumti the place structure is "x1 is/are the one(s) among x2 that correspond(s) to number/lerfu/sumti by rule x3".

Notes
- The definition of me corresponds to the basic relation Among as formalized in http://philosophy.syr.edu/mckay.html, which also agrees with the definition as given in CLL.
- The interpretation proposed for a ME-converted sumti with moi is an extension of the definition for n-moi as n-th.
- The second argument of mei is changed with respect to CLL, to make it more useful and more in line with the rest of the system.
