The CLL meaning of {lo} doesn't seem to be involved here, except that then, as now, {lo broda} applied only to actual brodas. (The non-veridical nature of {le}, while essential for solving the problem it was devised for, has generated a continuing problem ever since. Remember, you'd better have a really good reason for using {le broda} for something that isn't a broda.)
Sent from my iPad Using here {le nanmu} is not better and actually it might be wrong. Cuz it may be that I just now saw a woman, which I described as a man and I think the person is a man. He/she has not any specific meaning for me at all that is why I called him/her {lo nanmu}, but not {le ninmu}. Please, everybody, read xorlo-update already cuz the {lo}-meaning has changed dramatically since CLL, which is dated by 1997. воскресенье, 23 июня 2013 г., 18:18:40 UTC+6 пользователь v4hn написал: On Sun, Jun 23, 2013 at 03:21:50AM -0700, Анатолий Гашев wrote:

Yes, you can do that. Obviously. How else would you describe someone
who seems to be a man?
Nevertheless, you say something ba'e wrong then.
Using {le nanmu} (which in my opinion is better style anyway when you
have someone specific in mind) you do not, because you refer to
a specific individual no matter the description.
