For purely tactical reasons, since I'd like to have some temporal
scope beyond the advent of IE on the scene to play with, I think I'd
propose AN -> AfAs -> IE. Thus I could propose borrowing of AN <aku>
into AfAs, and from there into IE, after which AfAs dropped the last
vowel.
As for need and necessity, please note that Miss Piggy, although a
native English speaker, on occasion will use the foreign pronoun
<moi>.
