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? :|
