<p><b>-'e'</b> has exactly the meaning you're looking for. In
English, the <i>himself</i> is called an emphatic pronoun or an
intensive pronoun, and it has the effect of emphasizing that its
antecedent noun is exclusive. Gowron himself will pilot the ship,
not anyone else.<br>

<p>(Does <b>'or</b> apply to spaceships? What translation did you
have in mind for <i>pilot the ship?</i>)<br>
