That's really a matter of taste, I think. Personally, I am not a fan of
apostrophes in the text, so the second possitility seems least attractive to me
(unless it was meant to represent e-acutus, which I still wouldn't like too
much anyway).
I would probably prefer "emi": It's simple, clear, and modifies the article
somewhat, which makes it already more attractive.
eu mi > emi
la mi > lami
lo mi > lomi (?)
How do you handle the plural?
