The problem comes from trying to give a referent to {lo'e co'e}.
It doesn't have a referent. "viska lo'e co'e" does not claim that
there is something that is seen. (Normally, when you see something,
it is also the case that there is something seen, but {lo'e},
unlike {lo} makes no claim one way or the other about there being
something which is seen.)

I'm not an expert on boas, but I understand there is no one
color of boas, is there? Several colours can be "a" color of boas,
but probably none is _the_ color of boas.
