In addition to their basic forms, verbal auxiliaries may be inflected 

 to indicate dual or plural subject and /or object. Those forms in- 

 dicating dual or plural subject, in general, are constructed from the 

 basic forms by the addition of a suffix. Dual subject is expressed 

 by the addition of either the suffix - "^u, with concomitant lengthening 

 of the preceding vowel, to basic forms which terminate in -u, or the 

 sufiix -ha to forms which terminate in -riiA: 



nazd-'i'Abe'i' gu-'i'u they two will eat 



ni-zuwa-n^ sdumana we two will pay you 



Note that dual subject is indicated in both the verb and the auxiliary. 

 Compare: 



nupE gu he will eat 



nf-zuwA sduiiiA I will pay you 



Plural subject is expressed by the addition of the sufl&x -sa, together 

 with the development of a glottal accent on the preceding syllable 

 in forms lacking the -niA suffix: 



naza-'^ApE gusA they will eat 



ni-zuwa-ne- sdumASA we will pay you 



Some dual and plural verbal auxiliaries are constructed not from 

 the basic form, but from distinctive dual/plural forms. The following 

 are those which differ from the basic forms: 



1. First person subject with third person object indicative: 



SUZU-, as in nazS.-'i'Abe'i* suzti-'i'u we two will eat 



2. First person subject with third person object dubitative: 

 tij?d-, as in naza-'i'Abe'' tuzu-'u maybe we two will eat 



3. Second person subject with third person object indicative and 

 negative: 



guzii-, as in n^zd-?Abe? giizu-'u you two will eat 



4. Second person subject with third person object dubitative: 

 d^uzu-, as in n^zd-?Abe'i* dyuzu-'i'Tr maybe you two will eat 



Those verbal auxiliaries which terminate in -mA may be inflected 

 to indicate dual or plural object. This involves a change similar to 

 the expansion of thematic adjuncts in verbs plus, in the case of plural
