It could be "le" as well. "lo" is just more general, it covers both the generic and the particular cases, it just doesn't emphasize that it's about a partcular one. That use of "lo" there is perfectly fine. In fact, one could use "lo" always and forget about every other gadri (except "la"). > Also, is there some kind of problem with jbovlaste?
