• Lesson 18: Identifier Case's quotation or excerpt is recorded as There is an idiomatic usage in English “each other” (also “one another”) that is no less idiomatic in Láadan. However, the Láadan idiom looks quite diffferent from the English. In Láadan, we use a pair of demonstrative pronouns (“hi” forms), one in Subject case and the second in whatever case describes the role “each” has to the “other.” In the seventh example above, this would be “hizh hizhem” (each other, few, as Subject and Identifier). Granted, the circumstances where “hizh hizhem” would apply are somewhat rarified; however, the mechanism exists to say that thing when required.^[15].
