Re: THEORY: Betreft: Re: THEORY: two questions

Well, here are my examples (although Dirk has given some too):

from Shopen *Language typology and Syntactic description* p.171:
Chickasaw 'be sitting'  bini'li in singular, chi'ya in dual and
binohma in plural.
[...]
Moses-Columbian dialect of Salish contains at least 22 pairs of roots
differing in number as sg. vs pl. expressing the expected rannge of
meanings such as 'sit', 'stand', 'lay', 'down a round object', 'kill' etc..
Thus 'one sits' is tláq-x, while 'several sit' is y@r-íx.

Do you mean that they have different verb stems for singular and plural
subject? How weird! Are the two stems related at least? If not, then it's a
really strange system... Maybe I'm gonna steal it for Itakian :)) .
