Irrelevant. The whole issue here is deixis, in which you don't have to overtly specify such things. He also didn't say /It is getting closer to us,/ which is clearly meant to be a way this sentence could be used, even if the /to us/ remains unstated. Okrand's translations are rarely so formulaic, especially all the way back to the carefree days of TKD. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
