The only gadri I ever use are {lo} and {la}.

I always use {lo} unless it's one of the main characters {la 
cpitepygau}, {la cinfo} or {la tinci mudypre} because it sets them apart 
from other individuals who could be described with the same predicate. 
For example, there are other scarecrows mentioned in the text, but they 
are not the Scarecrow. For these main characters, what they are *is* 
their name. (This is similar to Alice in Wonderland, cf. e.g. Rabbit - 
{la ractu}).

There are some other things which are sort of proper names in the 
English text, and there I use {la} as well. Basically a capitalization 
in the English corresponds to a {la} in the Lojban.

There might be some inconsistencies here and there, but that's the 
general idea.
