I've had the idea for a "4th" person pronoun before. This would only be
used in sentences with two distinct third-person pronouns. I suppose this
idea could be carried out to "5th", "6th", etc. as needs for a more complex
sentence.
Sasxsek simply uses the reflexive to avoid ambiguity, otherwise individual
3rd-person pronouns refer to separate entities.
ISTR Lojban having a full set of distinct third-person pronoun markers.
