Consider "lo xanto voi bramau", "lo xanto voi friko", and "lo xanto voi cukla 
se kerlo". Is that proper use of "voi"? A young Asian elephant is smaller 
than an adult African elephant, elephant ears of whatever species aren't 
circles, and the round-eared elephant is also African (it was considered to 
belong to the same species not too many years ago). (Of course, the proper 
way to say it is "lo xanto be la bramau" etc.)
