I, me, mine; mi, fi, fy; ego, eme, emos; ego, me, meus; i at first
represented man, as a line, without his extension in matter, or in his
first spiritual state, but now, as having relation to, and connection
with matter; me, mi, and eme, from am-i or iam, signify this i or line,
existing or extended with its ambient possessions. Hence T, which is
this line extended, under heaven, came to be the hieroglyfic expression
for extension and general things; and P its divider, for possessions,
properties, terrestial parts and particular things; ego or egu, the
springing U or man; emou and mei, its genitive or possessive case,
