I would accept "He". I could imagine someone not liking it though. While
it's true that I accepted it when asked by maSqa' recently, he will note
upon reflection that the sentence's meaning is unchanged if you keep the
"abstract" meaning of "He" as well. Still, I personally would accept it
(probably) for the physical road.

I believe HIvDuj is a word in its own right (battle cruiser? My list is
not with me).
