So, if I say mi prenu this is presumably ambiguous as to whether I am referring to the event of my being a person or to my personhood. So, can I say, in order to disambiguate, something like: mi nu prenu "there exists the event of my being a person" mi ka prenu "there exists my personhood" ? ------- cohomihelahocoho. And coho. coho
