I don't think that was what he was asking.  I think what he meant was "I
and you and others not present".  If that's what he meant, then I don't
know of any examples thereof.

Of course, if that is what he meant, than there are a lot, there are
even languages that distinguish dual, trial, and plural, not just for
first person, but for second and third as well.
