I will pass on {lo'e} since I don't really know how it works, nor do
I have a theory on how it should work.

All I meant is that {le cribe cu nelci le jbari} cannot mean "bears
like berries", it can only be a statement about some particular bear
or group of bears and some particular berry or bunch of berries, not
about bears and berriies in general.
