I did just realize after looking at you say it though, that I should have used the proximal pronoun (I went ahead and edited it for that). Which one is used should have been based on how many possible referents are in the way instead of the order in which they were brought up.
I will expand to say that these pronouns are actually derivatives of a set of deictic prefixes of the form CV. As such, <l> functions to derive pronouns from these prefixes
(the videlicet mentioned above is on of these prefixes, I labeled it the "Hither Prefix" in my excel doc.). Therefore, technically, 3rd person pronouns have as many deictic distinctions as are made by these prefixes. |
This is interesting. I almost ccan't believe I let three days pass before looking at it.
Thanks, LingoDingo.
