● (I1b) old age
I2 – Lost love
● (I2a) blood family
● (I2b) lover, misc., unclear
● (I3) Dreams, fantasy (individual)
● (I4) Misc.
► S – SOCIAL
S1 – Not relating to institutions
● (S1a) mental illness
● (S1b) war, brutality
● (S1c) alienation from nature
● (S1d) misc.
S2 – Institutions
● (S2a) school
