I think that x1 of {cmene} needs to take a quote.

I think that mi'e can only be used to refer to one's self.

Although I as well would be interested to know if there are useful ways
around this.

Hi,

Is there a difference in meaning between
the two sentences {mi'e tim.} and {tim.
cmene mi}? Are they both correct? Both
used?

Say you are with your friend and want
to give her name as well. I guess this
would be something like {djein. .e tim.
cmene mi}? Can you do this with {mi'e},
too, maybe straight forward {mi'e djein.
.e tim.}?

"What's your name?" would be {ma cmene
do}. Again the question: can you ask
about someone's name using {mi'e}, too?
