This works for me, and appears to be consistent with existing usage
and the book.
Does this not also implicate, though, that lo'e must be "global
squinting" in order for le'e to have any use? (because le'e
essentially is the "local squinting").
(this supports that lo'e merkypre cu nelci zoizo. baseball .zo. is
false, but le'e of the same is true, as would be expected under the
very high-level definitions of the gadri given in the book).
