CLL says: The relationship between "li" and "me'o" is related to
that between "la djan.", the person named John, and "zo .djan.",
the name "John".
Now, how many names "John" are there? I would have said it is
a Unique. Every time someone uses (or writes down) the name
"John", are they using a different name?
This is easily solved by using {tu'o zo djan}, the Kind "djan",
(and hopefully the default for {zo}) and eventually {su'o zo djan}
to refer to its much less frequently used avatars.
