my 3 week-old niece knows how to request for ARMS
she doesn't speak yet but she kinds of YELLS :

"[you-guy/girls take me in your] AAAAAA[rms or else i make your day]"

i guess it' an SVO sentence with

S =3D AAAAAA[rms]
V =3D AAAAAA[rms]
O =3D AAAAAA[rms]

or stuff like that - i didn't try her syntax, just hold her in my arms
to stop painful experience. but it's an experience evidencing plural &
pronouns' needelessness to get the message.
