***RO*** lo'e cinfo cu xabju le friko
The problem: to capture the difference between:
1. The lion lives in Africa. = A lion typically lives in Africa.
2. I study the lion. != A lion typically is studied by me.
The solution:
1. Every instance of the prototypical lion lives in Africa.
ro "lo'e" cinfo cu xabju le friko
2. I study the prototypical lion.
mi tadni lo'e cinfo
X is an instance of the prototypical lion to the extent that
it has all the proto-properties.
X is an instance of lion to the extent that it has enough of
the proto-properties.
Under this solution, Prototype *can* be a gadri or LAhE. But
CLL examples about {lo'e cinfo} have to be seen as erroneous
if {lo'e} = Prototype. However, CLL exx are consistent with
{lo'e} - Unique.
