I think it can be, because "lo'e smo'e" is the ultimate myopic
singularization, but I know everyone (starting with pc) will want to
throw stones at me for saying that.

pnja'ako'eko'e
"I put things on things."

Formally this would be

"la'a mslfa'a lo'e smo'e lo'e smo'e pnja'ako'eko'e"

I think we have to agree that the outer o'e-binding has no effect and the inner o'e-binding is applied twice.  Since we all (except pc) agree that "l-" is somehow singularizing, i.e. binds its variable to one entity (however that works), it's really hard not to read this as "I put things on themself".
