Re: TECH HARANGUE: LE/LO

[Jorge Llambias <jorge@PHYAST.PITT.EDU>]

I agree with And's explanation of le/lo, I disagree with how
he resolves this potential ambiguity:

The default should be the speaker, because it is not ko'a who is using
the language. Koha might not even speak Lojban and it still be true
that ko'a krici ledu'u le broda cu brode.

To refer to Koha's use of {le broda} you can say {ko'a krici la'e
lu le broda cu brode li'u}.
