Arthaey írta: "I believe Asha'ille qualifies, with 6 primary distinctions
(and more possible):

"1. self
2. beloveds
3. close friends
4. good friends
5. acquaintances
6. strangers

"Each of these categories has its own pronoun and verbal conjugation."

Wow, that's *really* neat! I'd like to see examples, esp. using the first
person :P Quite some subtle meanings could be portrayed with such
distinctions.

Or are these for the third person only? :|
