Needless to say, I think this is a good idea.
At present, is {doi la karl. noi kea banli} ungrammatical? Or does
it mean "O Carl, who is great"?
Under the new proposals, on analogy with LA, {doi la karl noi kea
banli} should mean "O Carl, who is great", while {doi noi kea
banli .karl" should mean "O Carl the great", right?

A separate question: Why cannot {.karl.} be used as an independent sumti?
It is not morphologically ambiguous. How come there must be a preceding
LA or DOI?
