\section{Patterns for number}

\subsection{Coordination with ``and''}

\subsubsection{SV order}


\pattern{ Mussau-Emira has singular, dual, trial, paucal, and plural number. With two singular conjuncts, the verb is marked as dual. If one of the conjuncts is plural, number is resolved to plural. In general, the number is the sum of the numbers of the conjuncts.}

'The boy and the men run.'

% boy PL and.CONJ man PL they.3PL run \\
% 'The boys and the men run.'

% \subsubsection{VS order}


% \textbf{Pattern:} The verb shows default singular agreement in VS order.

\section{Patterns for person}

\subsection{Coordination with ``and''}

\subsubsection{SV order}

\pattern{ These constructions are ineffable. In combinations of 1st and 2nd person singular, the coordination is replaced by \textit{italu} (``we''). In other combinations, entire clauses are coordinated. There is no person distinction in dual and plural. (The forms are syncretic.)}

\begin{featuretable}{3}
\threefeaturetablerow{\diagboxfeaturetable}{1}{2}{3}
\threefeaturetablerow{1}{}{ineff}{ineff}
\threefeaturetablerow{2}{ineff}{}{}
\threefeaturetablerow{3}{ineff}{}{}
\end{featuretable}


\textbf{Examples:}

\exg.
Italu ilou. \\
we.1\textsc{du.incl} run.\textsc{du} \\
`You and I run.'/`I and you run.'/lit. `We run.'

\exg.
Ita/ami ilou me ila tee la ilou. \\
we.\textsc{incl}/we.\textsc{excl} run.\textsc{pl} and they also they run.\textsc{pl} \\
`We and they run.'

\exg.
La ilou me ita/ami tee ita/ami ilou. \\
they run.\textsc{pl} and we.\textsc{incl}/we.\textsc{excl} also we.\textsc{incl}/we.\textsc{excl} run.\textsc{pl} \\
`They and we run.'


% \subsubsection{VS order}

% % \textbf{Pattern:} Both closest conjunct agreement and resolved agreement (following the hierarchy 1 $>$ 2 $>$ 3) are possible.

% % \hline
% % \textbf{3} & 1pl/3sg & 2sg/3sg & \\
% % \hline
% % \end{tabular}

% % %\end{center}

% % \

% \textbf{Examples:}

% \exg. ʔarkud\textsuperscript{\textrevglotstop}u ʔana: wa-ʔija:k. \\
% run.1\textsc{sg} I and-you \\
% `I and you run.'

% \subsection{Coordination with ``or''}

% \subsubsection{SV order}

% \textbf{Pattern:} Mismatching person is resolved following the hierarchy 1 $>$ 2 $>$ 3. (Number is resolved to plural.)

% \textbf{Examples:}

% You or I run.1\textsc{pl} \\
% `You or I run.'
