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.)
Desn't {loi'e cinfo} sometimes live in Iran? I would have said
it does.
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.
Surely {da kalte loi'e cinfo} is true, isn't it?
