Good point. Still, if the first casting {Dal ghu'lIj} failed to be
specific enough, wouldn't this be even better as {SoHvaD Dal ghu'lIj}?
Otherwise, your statement might just as well serve as a reply from the
captain of the garbage scow to you, since the situation might not be the one
experienced by the person termed {SoH}. "For you, the (my) situation is
boring."
