#For most people, there can be any number of stereotypical dogs, and each
#one they refer to as le'e gerku. For you, le'e gerku is the stereotype
#itself, of which there can only be one. (Let's not get distracted with the
#boundary cases.)

The issue is not to do with understanding of stereotypes. It is to do with
whether le'e has anything to do with stereotypes. If le'e is to lo'e as e-gardri 
are to their o-gadri counterparts, then le'e would not mean "the 
stereotypical". So there is a kind of inconsistency in CLL, in that le'e is 
semantically irregular. This is one of the things the BF will be looking at.
