Most dual and plural personal pronouns exist in three forms. Form I is used if the persons referred to by the pronouns are both (all) of one section; form II is used if the persons referred to are not of one section but are both (all) within the same section-pair. . .; form III is used where neither I nor II is appropriate, that is, where at least two of the persons referred to are of different section-pairs."
