Okaikiar looks pretty interesting, though I get the impression you've
studied Latin before...

With the "by me" form for "here", perhaps you should consider distinguishing
different locations, as many languages do.  If something is over here by me,
not by you, use "by me".  If I'm talking about something near both of us,
use "by us".  If it's near you, but not me, use "by you".  If it's far from
both of us, try "by it".  Oldvak does something like this, having four
possible locations based on near/far for speaker and listener.
