I sent a followup to this, which I lost. In any case, {mintu} is a
better gismu for identity for things that aren't numbers; I don't
think I mentioned that.
Perhaps the best solution is to restrict lujvo with {sevzi} to
reflexives which necessarily involve an agent (so "ego" really is
appropriate). This would have the further benefit of removing some
ambiguity in the place structure.
