[lojban] Again {xorlo} and Wiki.

[Opi Lauma <opi_lauma@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

on the Lojban-Wiki I have found the following:
      A side effect of the above is that in xorlo, if
you mean "one bear", consider actually saying "pa
cribe". It's ever so much more specific. xorxes points
out that to refer to one bear, "lo pa cribe" is
actually a bit better; "pa cribe cu broda" means that
exactly one cribe in the whole world brodas, which is
often not what you want. We (those of us that have
actually been using xorlo for the last few months;
there are at least half a dozen active users on
#lojban now) have found that context is almost always
sufficient, however. 

And it is opposite to what I understood from answers
on one of the my previous postings:
      {pa cribe} = {pa lo cribe} = ?an bear?.

and opposite to what I understood from lessons of Nick
Nicholas: 
      {lo pa cribe} means that there exists only one
bear in the world.

Where is true?
