I'm saying, in this case (since slench is primarily stationary) Sum would be for him, of which he *IS* the 3rd person in this case.

Er, no. That's not what I meant. What I meant was that {chol} implies
movement (*getting* near, not *being* near), and may be capable of taking an
object: {Dachol} "you get near it". Conversely, {Sum}, being stative,
probably can't take an object, and often carries an implication of being
near to the speaker, unless context indicates otherwise. In other words, you
can use either without any real restriction on first, second or third
person, no matter whether subject or object.
