If I understand John's answer to my previous query, the word 'la' is
ambigious between "the thing named by the string ..." and "the thing
named by the predicate ...". IE:
la lojbab
could mean the thing named by the sound 'lohzbahb' (presumably a sound
borrowed from another language) or the thing named "logical soap".
