Exactly. But the number can still be tacked on for emphasis or some special
effect.
vit tveir = we two (masculine)
vit tvær = we two (feminine)
vit tvau = we two (neuter - a man and a woman)
In Þrymskviða when Þórr has been dressed up as Freyja
and Loki has offered to be his maid, Loki says:
"Vit skulum aka tvau í Jötunheima."
Meaning:
"We two shall drive to Jötunheimar."
But the form Loki uses is "vit tvau" which means (as shown above)
"we two - a man and a woman". So Loki is jokingly suggesting either
he himself is a woman or Þórr is.
This subtle detail is impossible to translate into English.
