Here is a non-hypothetical example from my own experience: Whenever I=20
create something, for example when I compose a piece or when I write a=20
book or any such thing, I always dedicate it to someone (and it's always=20
a different person each time). If someone was familiar with my musical=20
pieces and wanted to refer to one of them, I would consider it entirely=20
correct to use srana/pe thus:

mi nelci lo do zgike se finti .i pu zi tinju'i lo do se finti pe la'o=20
me. Han Ga Eun .me

Or:

mi pu zi tinju'i lo srana be la'o me. Han Ga Eun .me

"I like your compositions. I just listened to your Han Ga Eun piece."

That's the easiest way to distinguish them, especially since I don't=20
give my pieces names. pe/ne/srana are by nature vague and rely on=20
context. And I think that's a good thing.
