Re: interesting pronouns

Oh WOW!!  You've hit on my old favorite -- the first
person singular exclusive pronoun -- which was my
absolute favorite feature of Lrahran.  I explained it
in English as "the I which is not I".  St. Paul could
have used it in his discourses on sin. Physchologist,
philisophers and theologians could all find nifty uses
for this term -- as well as little boys trying to
avoid punishment for their misdeeds . . . or
Presidents!  Oh, man could Clinton have used this
word!  Nixon could no doubt have made use of it too.
Schizophernics and others with dissociative disorders
would also have good recourse to it even my mother's
dog would find it usefull during telepathic
communication with the family -- (he has two
personalities Buddy [good] and Ubu [baaad]).
