[lojban-beginners] Re: precise definition of cmene

Ever since Melissa asked, I've been wondering how you could tell the 
difference between a person named Mutt and something that is classified 
as a mutt (mixre gerku).  Does this rely purely on context?

Would it be appropriate to always use lai (as LeChevalier pionts out) in 
reference to a class or group label?  To me, I wonder if la 
serinus.serinus.kanarias is the last canary or is really renaissance 
painting named after the bird.

Has this been covered in the Wiki?  I'm not very good at searching for 
stuff like this.
