Backing off loi

OK, weathervane again. To me, the generic prototype sounds a *lot* like {loi}; but additive properties are an unsurmountable problem, and xod is right, we shouldn't be shoehorning. So I'll allow they're like {loi}, but not quite {loi}. But any final solution needs to make sure the differences between the generic and the mass are clearcut. Because the "if true of one, it is true of the singularisation" aspect seems to me critical to making sense of this singularisation.
