This is new to me. I can't understand why on these examples the {'e' -lu'}
pattern is used, but I do remember that on numerous occasions on this list,
we have said (or I have been told) that it is not permissible.

Do the examples that you posted, mean that we can freely use {'e' -lu'} ?

As far as the {-lu' net} is concerned, I see no problem with it since it
doesn't contradict any rule.
