What "la" "eats up" is either a selbri or a string of cmevla. With the
change, it would just eat up a selbri (a string of cmevla would be
just another type of selbri).

This has nothing to do with dotside.

Besides the special case of cmevla, the rules for LA are exactly the
same as for LE, yes. With the change, cmevla would no longer be a
special case.
