Why are there two plural forms for the first person, but none for the
others? Wowo, lolo and lala might come in handy, and aren't hard to
memorize. =)

"Nos" is the inclusive we, and "mimi" is the exclusive we. As for wowo,
lolo, and lala, they sound ugly to me. I'd want to haplogize them, which
cannot be done without collapsing the system to where it is now. But if
you used a different syllable to add, tiwo, halo, and hala (to be random)
sound nice and give the distinction.
It's all up to Carlos Thompson, however.
