Are these supposed to be problematic for the proposed {lo}?
They are not.

This one makes more sense with {lo} refering generically to
a period of six years rather than quantifying over periods
od six years: "there is at least one period of six years
such that you're younger than my by that period"? Not wrong,
but weird. The natural thing to say is that the difference
in our ages is the single entity "6 years".

That one works with both {lo cirla} or {su'o cirla}.

(I would use {lo nu} for most of those {le nu} now.)
Yes, you can use {lo blabi ractu} when there is only one white
rabbit around.
