Wow! I have nothing even close to being as interesting as the examples
you gave (I absolutely LOVE the Somali [especially the fact that I don't have
to speak it ;) ]). The closest thing to intersting I have is that in one of
my languages (Dangelis) I have a singular, dual, trial and plural marked on
both the nouns and verbs (not adjectives). I never thought of any kind of a
distinction where the verb and pronoun don't agree in number. Now, however,
that this idea has entered into my mind....
