In my opinion le'e and lo'e have broader application than the glosses
"typical" and "stereotypical" suggest.  For example I think we decided to
use lo'e in "I want a boat": mi djica lo'e bloti; where you can't say lo
bloti because that would refer to a particular boat or boats.  Don't be
confused by the negative connotations of "stereotype" in English.
