'ay' 6.2.5: "When the verb of the second sentence has a third-person subject
. . . but the intended meaning is *one* or *someone*, rather than *he*,
*she*, *it*, or *they*, {net} is used instead of {'e'}."
Since {-lu'} means third-person subject meaning *someone*, I believe that
{'e' Xlu'} is, in fact, illegal.
