No wonder I'm confused about the dual pronominal endings. It seems no
one can agree on these supposedly "ancient" endings.

Miguel says they are: -was, -tHas and -tes.

This link (http://titus.fkidg1.uni-frankfurt.de/didact/idg/idgmorph.htm)
says they are: -wo-, -tHo- and -te-.

Meanwhile, Dr. Steven Schaufele says something entirely different
(http://www.linguistlist.org/~ask-ling/archive-1997.5/msg00130.html)
and claims they are: -wes, -tHos- and -tes.

It seems only the third person dual is agreed on at all, and at least two
people are in opposition to Miguel for the 2pd.
