Indeed so. But what disambiguates "I thee" from "we"? >>> rayber@hidden.email 03/06/02 02:01pm >>> And & Rex:-> I was actually wondering how to tell the difference between "I thee" and "we", e.g. "I thee wed", versus "We wed". The thought of having to insert a compound blocker to prevent "I thee" parsing as "we" seems rather unattractive and unnatural. Ray:-> ."thee" is the object of the transitive verb "wed". .in "we wed (each other/reciprocally) = we (get married) to each other", the verb seems to be intransitive.
