I think you should be the one reading them, because no, it isn't.

You can't call a dog that looks very bear-like {lo cribe}, but you can call it {le cribe}.
The difference is that {lo} means it /actually is/ whatever you're calling it. {lo karce} is actually a car, {lo cribe} actually is a bear, while {le} merely means that you are describing a specific thing as that, whether or not it actually is.
If you don't know if someone is a man or a woman, you can call that person {le ninmu} even if it turns out that's a man, but you can't call that person {lo ninmu}. (For anyone who's seen old SNL, Pat is a great example of this.)
