la latro'a cu cusku di'eXorlo "lo creka" does not refer to a specific shirt, that would be "le creka", so there is no problem with using lo here, but:
If you defined it the other way, you wouldn't get quite the same thing
by just attaching {poi}. Instead you could wind up looking for a
definite shirt, rather than just "some green shirt".
Right, "da" doesn't work for these situations, that's one of the problems xorlo fixed.
{da} wouldn't fix
this either, because the quantifier would be in the wrong place. (That
is, "I'm looking for {da poi crino}" is "There exists a green thing that
I'm looking for"; the existential is outside the looking.
