To One and All--
     My professor steered us away from using the personal pronoun for 
he, she, it (AUTOS) in the nominative case (as a subject).  Instead she 
advised that we use the demonstrative, EKEINOS.  I am wondering what 
other alternative might serve as a personal pronoun in place of 
EKEINOS?  Thank you.
