Actually, upon further consideration, would it be fair to say that
{le} references an object which had a unique identity before
construction of the sentence? For instance, if I say "So yesterday,
this dog walked in front of a car", I would use {lo}, but if I said
"So yesterday, this one dog I know walked in front of a car", would I
use {le}, since I'm referencing a dog which has an identity separate
from other dogs inside my mind?
