My point is two fold: 1) by the general principle of Xorban, the name should be structurally distinct, since it is a distinct grammatical category and 2) it should not contain a V.  As for definiteness, I think that is pretty much contextual, unless you want to insist on it with d (however that works).  mV N is just a funny predicate.

The complement of mV is not a distinct grammatical category but simply a formula, just as "la" can be followed be any selbri in Lojban. 
  
I this decided?  Various threads mark it as arbitrary strings or as quoted strings, none I can find restricts it to selbri-ish items.
