-t (e.g. in wit) in Germanic is usually interpreted as from old *-d(wo:) "two".

Esteemed Piotr and Mate,

Thank you for your responses. My resources are limited, and I value your attention.

Am I to assume that the Gothic and Lithuanian forms of the dual pronoun, for example, represent neologisms created subsequent to the earliest reconstructable PIE, or dialectal creations within late PIE, perhaps?

Sincerely, S. Dana Johnson.
