I have used lo'e and le'e for Unique, but I consider my usage to
be exploratory, and in no wise canonical, and I don't care if it
gets invalidated. I consider all Lojban text written to date to
be intrinsically invalid, because it is written on the basis of
such an incomplete language and such an incomplete understanding
of it.
