A quantifier between {la} and a cmevla is ungrammatical.
A quantifier between {la} and the selbri is grammatical.
The meaning of {la ci cribe} could be either "the three
that I call 'Bear'" or "the one that I call 'Three Bears'".
I'm not sure we really need to impose one of them.

I too am unsure what to make of them, but the grammar allows them.
I can leave the quantifiers out of lo'e/le'e if they are utterly
meaningless. Anyone else has an opinion on this?
