Maybe this quote will help:

"He has his own death in mind, and because it is a place he will go, the grave is the meaning. "

"the ne go" would therefore be interpreted as: "the ne be placed",
i.e. "Where is the ne normally placed if there is an object pronoun?"

Or, in line with the dictionary entry above:
"Which place in the word order is the 'ne' allotted to?"
