dual (person unspecified)
**Why dual is less marked than plural**
I assume Harley and Ritter’s (2002) person features, **with third person unspecified**, [PARTICIPANT]
giving first person, and [ADDRESSEE] second person, with ADDRESSEE a dependent of PARTICIPANT. For
Case, I follow Béjar and Hall (1999), with a bare case node [K] for subject case, and its two dependents
[ACCUSATIVE] and [OBLIQUE] giving object and possessive case respectively. This gives (8) for the first
and second person plural possessive pronouns ho÷n÷a:wan and to÷n÷a:wan.

Comment: "Both translators offered "dual", the only question was btwn "(person unspec) and (non-spec person). I chose this one because there are sources attesting to its uses. Thanks!"
