(Komi-Permyak)

Pl1=Pl1

Pl1=Pl1: Number distinction exists for the first-person, but inclusive and exclusive are not distinguished.

(1)mi,tedame,mun-a-mökino-ö.
weyouandIgoPRS1PLcinemaILL
’We, you and I, are going to the cinema.’ (L. P.)

(2)mi,medaökśiń,mun-a-mökino-ö.
weIandOksanagoPRS1PLcinemaILL
’We, Oksana and I, are going to the cinema.’ (L. P.)

(3)miaś-nymstroit-i-mökerku-nym-ös.
weself1PLbuildPST1PLhouse1PLACC
’We built our house ourselves.’ (L. P.)

The first person plural pronoun of Komi-Permyak can have both inclusive (1) and exclusive (2) readings (L. P.). Emphatic pronominals with the root aś- ’self’ (3) also lack this morphological distinction (Batalova 2002: 83, L. P.).
