How right you are. For my on-again, off-again "Ricadh" project, I thought I
was being so creative by "inventing", all on my own, a first-person plural
exclusive pronoun: a "We" that includes the speaker, but not the listener.
Turns out that concept already exists in Quechua.
So I turned around and expanded that idea into a two-level plural system for
Ricadh nouns.
