I used to use type 3 "qualification" noun suffixes on pronouns a lot.

When chatting in a MUSH, I generally tend to make a distinction between
the player and the character, referring to {SoHna'} and {SoHHey}.  In
one particularly challenging moment, I used {SoHqoq} to refer to an
alternate character whose online personality was quite unlike the way
I thought of the real person at the keyboard.

I got carried away with wordplay once and said {SoHpu'Hey} to try to
indicate the player and both of the characters.  It was completely
not understood, which isn't all that surprising. :-)
