Well, I have to admit that those cases, with name/titles rather than
decriptors are pretty convincing.  Except, of course, that they fall under
the original {me}, without any significant extension -- and even save a
{la'o} .  
I am unsure what intensionalizing a name means or making it into a property,
different from being identical with the bearer of the name.

Still, how do I say "mine"?
