The Reeve’s ik, legible in his first phrase—“So theek” (1.3864)—records the alterity of the selfsame and thereby combats the Miller’s army of first person pronouns (I, I, my, me, myself, I, I, I—eight in one compound sentence). Facing such multiplicity, one might ask whether “I” can ever be “oon,” whether the “I” that indicatively has a “wyf” is the same as the “I” that conditionally would not take more than enough or the “I” that, in a counterfactual subjunctive, would deem itself “o[-]on.”62
