He nor that affable familiar ghost

The male person or animal being 
discussed in negative phrases 
to introduce the second member 
in a series: the subject 
or object as a relative 
clause. Pleasantly easy
to approach and to talk to
thoroughly conversant
generally known. The detached soul
of a dead person, a remote 
possibility seen as a series 
of false spectral lines
produced by a diffraction grating 
between unevenly spaced parallels.
