How do we say "gowron himself will pilot the ship"?

I don't think that the {-'e'} is appropriate, since the way I understand this kind of "himself" isn't of the exclusive kind. (Or is it?)

Nor do adding asterics as a means of emphasis seem to does the trick, since I don't want to say "it is GOWRON who will pilot the ship".

So is there something else we could do?

-'e' has exactly the meaning you're looking for. In English, the himself 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.

(Does 'or apply to spaceships? What translation did you have in mind for pilot the ship?)
