In that case, probably not much. When the quote is not a name,
there may be a difference. {la'e zoi gy table gy} presumably refers to
a table, while la'o gy table gy} would refer to someone or something
named "Table", not necessarily a table.

Then again, {la'o} is supposed to be used for type-1 fu'ivla in
general, not just
for names. The boundary seems to be fuzzy.
