Dotside or no dotside, the word "la" cannot be a name by itself
(although it can be part of a name, as in "la broda be la brode", where
the second "la" is a part of the name, but that has nothing to do with
dotside).
I agree. But the argument that I was responding to seems to indicate that anything marked with "la" is just a string being treated as a name with no semantic content in the same way that "zo" turns a string into a sumti with no semantic content.
All dotside does
I know what dotside does, and was just making a joke about one extreme possibility of treating any old word-string as a name. That was certainly not the intent in allowing LA to take a sumti-tail description alongside LE.
