Reminds me of the Japanese pronoun 君 (pronounced "ki-mi"). The nuance is surprisingly similar (appropriate for lovers & underlings, almost never strangers), cultural & geographical gaps notwithstanding.

Makes you wonder what kind of wires must get crossed in the human id for intimate pronouns to function this way.
