Rikchik uses the same glyph for both: Me. The "P" (place) form of Me is "here", and the "I" (idea) form is "now". The "R" (animate) form is of course "me", and I don't think the others are defined yet. -- Denis M Moskowitz Happy-Result-N-0 God-Quality-N-1 Human-End-R-1 dmm@suberic.net Human-Source-R-0P Rikchik-Agent-N-0 Talk-End-I-2 <a href="http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~dmm/dmm.html">My WWW page</a> <a href="http://www.cs.hmc.edu/~dmm/rikchik/intro.html">Rikchik Language</a>
