Whatever lo'e means, lo'e is to lo'i as le'e is to le'i, so once we
know what the one means we know what the other means. On the Prototype
story, lo'e broda is the prototype for lo'i broda, while le'e broda
is the prototype for le'i broda. The meaning of lo'i broda and le'i
broda is well-understood.
