You mean something like "mu'oSbogh 'oSwI'"? That could be a longer term
for "my representative" (like in the canon "ghItlh vIghItlhta'bogh
DalaD'a'?" instead of the simpler "ghItlhwIj"). 'Course, as was argued
before, ambiguity doesn't preclude something from meaning what you want,
but it seems sort of vague. It's something that represents you... but that
doesn't mean it *looks* like you. The point of a picture is the visual
resemblence.
