If {te benji} means "receive", it has to imply success, I think. On the
other hand, how would we say: "I already sent it to you, haven't you got
it yet?"

Perhaps we need:

cfabe'i (cfari benji): x1 sends x2 to x3
mulbe'i (mulno benji): x3 receives x2 from x1

Then we would say: {mi ba'o cfabe'i ko'a do  i ue xu na ca mulbe'i}
