1 4im 4if 4em 4ef 2 5 3 6 "The meanings of the various forms of the first person plural remain doubtful. In particular the masculine/feminine contrast does not recur elsewhere in the HEIBAN group, whereas dual and plural are commonly distinguished. On this point, I now suspect a misunderstanding between my informant (a lady with a little daughter) and myself." SK 1, 83.
