No, it is not. The last "accepted" "definition" of {la} is in xorlo which states
la [PA] broda - zo'e noi lu [PA] broda li'u cmene ke'a mi
Another rather simple observation: Whether or not {la selpa'i}
is decided to have some semantic connection to {prami}, you're not able to make
people ignore connotations of the word you're uttering.
Psychological fact (if such things even exist).
Therefore, if I read {la tsani}, I will think of the person AND I will think
of sky. Same for {selpa'i}. So if you don't want me to think of "beloved"
when I read about you, pick a different name.
