But it doesn't mean that. {lo cevni} is "a god", definitely with
a small "g". "The One True God" is more like {le pa jetfu cevni},
and "God" is {la cevni}, or sometimes {la cev} has been used.
{lo} should not be used at all for definite references. This
has nothing to do with one's beliefs, it's just the grammar.
