Quite elegant. Now, what about lo'e itself? I don't see why we need a
separate gadri for definitions, when they are handled with ro or ka'u ro.
And in any case they are notoriously tricky; it's not a definitional trait
of the lion that it is seen by me, etc. Yet most people interpret the
CLL's treatment as na'o.
