Et cetera versus et alia
I have a couple of English usage manuals on my desk (Fowler 2e and Garner). Fowler says it's silly to restrict etc. to things rather than people, while Garner says to use etc. only for things, et al. only for people.

I am hungry. >> Latin
How can I say "I am hungry." in Latin? Suggestions:
Sum esuriens.
Habeo fames.
Habeo inedia.
Esurio.
And what about "I am thirsty."?
Context: I study alone Latin.
Thank you.
