cmavo word order



I also feel confused about the meaning changes when you put a cmavo
in different places inside a bridi. For example in:

le mo'u zdani cu po'ayfa'u  - "the expired house fell to pieces"
|---sumpti--| |--selbri--|

If my diagramming seems correct here, would <le zdani mo'u> have a
different meaning? Would the glosses "the completed house", "the fulfilled
house", and "the ended house" all work for <le mo'u zdani>?
