.i'a I've read xorlo a few times, and have made a question/note on the
Lessons Errata tiki page as to how xorlo effects the lessons.  But .o'i I
believe my explination is in accordance with xorlo... The only thing that has
(non-explicitly) been taken from lo is it strict logical definition.  Using
"lo cribe" still requires the truth of the bridi "lo cribe cu cribe" (which
le doesn't require)... right?  Otherwise lo would be completely void of
meaning.  It would mean 'that which is neither named or described by, but
still called, cribe'?

Lo talks about the class of a thing without specificity as to plurality,
state, or wholeness.  The sumti created by lo broda points to a thing that
satisfies the x1 place of its internal selbri.
