#Sounds right, but then what is with Lojban's tagline?
#
#Lojban - the Logical Language
#{la lojban. po'u le logji bangu}
#
#Shouldn't that be {no'u}?

I think it makes no difference when the modificand has singular reference,
though to me in such cases {po'u} implies that it has plural reference.
Hence I consider {la lojban. po'u le logji bangu} to be infelicitous but
not incorrect.
