Using =ABla=BB equates to the capitalization of a name, not to anything lik=
e
"the". So =ABla cipni ku/cu prami la mlatu=BB means "Bird loves Cat" (but
without the tense of English "loves"). Either of =ABku=BB or =ABcu=BB can b=
e used
in this case. They differ grammatically, but the result is essentially the
same here. It's not especially generic at all, although each argument can
refer to any entity actually called that.
