No, I do not want to speak for myself: so /le/ doesn't seem
appropriate (doesn't it say: something I - the speaker - describe?)
Just 
want to have a Lojban expression for something by others than me
described as 'Madonna'. IMHO this should be possible the same 
way like having an expression for 'shoe' or 'tree'. 
With *real* mother I intended to stress the *biological* sense with
regard to her son as a historical personality (whereas /
mamta/ is not restricted to being biological).
Should one better make it a cmene?
