I keep having to get used to the change from CLL, where {lo} means "the really is" and {le} means "the described as." If I understand correctly from the wiki's BPFK Section: gadri, I think {lo nanmu} now means "any of the things that are a man" and {le nanmu} now means "a particular man I have in mind." I like that way better.
