Hmm.. I dont know if Kirumb-speakers would have much use for such words, but in Kirumb you would probably just use the "titular article" with the relevant deictic. I know these words I have on file arent current, but you could have: <han> "there" <há-han> "*there*" (or better, "There"). I know at least one of my languages will have to implement it the way Chrono Cross does... Chrono Cross being a game about, roughly, two parallel worlds, titled "Home World" and "Another World". You'd label people or places e.g. "Home Marbule" or "Another's Leena". (So basically just use 'Home' and 'Another'.) *Muke! -- http://www.frath.net/
