That's really about "cribe", not about "lo". If you can point to it
and say "ta cribe", then there is no problem in referring to it as "lo
cribe". If pointing to it and saying "ta cribe" would raise eyebrows,
then so would "lo cribe". It has nothing to do with "lo".

lo broda = zo'e noi broda

If you can't put it in the x1 of broda, don't refer to it as "lo broda".
