Having both 'me' and 'du' is probably redundant, but the relativized
'pe' (I suppose that that's the bridiized 'pe') is better handled with
'me ko'a moi', because it not only allows you to claim the association
between two sumti, but also what the relationship is, if need be.
(Though unfortunately 'meko'amoi' is often called an abomination for
some reason.)
