The first is definitely false: it means "There is an antelope such that the
typical lion eats it", i.e. "Many, or most, or almost all lions eat this
antelope."
This is the same fallacy as "Every nine minutes, around the world, a woman
has a baby. Our job is to find this woman and stop her."
As for "le'e antilope", I can't say: I don't know what le'i antilope you are
abstracting from. I wouldn't affirm it.
