and I

First person singular independent pronoun meaning 'I' or 'me.' It identifies the speaker as the subject, object, or agent of an action or situation. While most commonly indicating the individual self in narrative, discourse, or prayer, it may sometimes appear with emphatic, contrastive, or reflexive nuances. The form may also be pleonastic (adding emphasis or clarity), and in poetic or formal speech may occur in parallel with the longer form אָנֹכִי (anokhî).
