I am only mildly surprised that you claim that lionness is not a possible
meaning for {cinfo}, but the way that you state it fails to convince, since, in
(lo ka cinof na cinfo} you have set up a context in which lioness is set up in
opposition to whatever {cinfo} now means. This does not preclude {lo cinfo},
for example, referring to lionness in an appropriate situation. If you hold
that no situation could be appropriate for that meaning, then I wonder a bit
about your commitment to blobularism or about what limits you have (unstatedly)
placed on the blob.
In some ways, {lo cinfo} is to {lo ka ce'u cinfo} as {lo nu da cinfo} is to {lo du'u da cinfo}. The "lo" and "lo nu" exist in spacetime, and the "lo ka" and "lo du'u" don't. "lo'i ka" and "lo'i du'u" are singletons, and "lo'i (cinfo)" and "lo'i nu" aren't.
