{le} is specific/referential, {lo} is for quantified variables. {lo broda}
is equivalent to {da poi broda}, but {le} is not equivalent to {da voi
broda}; that spurious equivalence is an old misanalysis. {le broda}
would be equivalent to {????3 voi broda}, where the "????3" expresses
the specificity and the "voi" expresses that the description is not
asserted.

broda-series gismu are assignable 'names' like ko'a-series are -- {cei
broda}
is analogous to {goi ke'a}.
