Re: [jboske] carving the lo'e debate into shape (was: RE: My last will and testament on lo'e

I think this is perfectly consistent with CLL lo'e.  lo'ei is clearly
not, since lo'ei cinfo lives in Iran as well as Africa, whereas lo'e
cinfo lives (I am told) solely in Africa.  (Lo'e remna doesn't have a
continent of residence, though.)

If you think that loi'e can be used in some sentence that is inconsistent
with CLL lo'e, I'd like to see it.

Is your phrase "myopic singularization" intended to be captured by loi'e
as shown above, or have you abandoned that characterization?
