Well, it -could- be la... or lo... or maybe even le... what do you
think he meant? I don't know, there isn't a regular rule that we
follow.

>_>

I really, truly, honestly believe that your idea is a bad one.
That's not regular grammar. It -is- an exception. It is ambiguous in
meaning. A computer could not parse it.

So your choice isn't an available option, as I see it.
In my opinion, you have three options:

1. It implies {lo}, because that is the generic gadri.
2. It implies {le}, because that has been the standard, and it makes
sense for greetings such as {.i coi pendo} more so than option 1.
3. It implies {la}, because we shouldn't have an inconsistency between
cmevla names and selbri names, so we can say {.i coi xalbo}.

Don't know what else to tell you. =\
