Subject: Coordination in EA

It seems to me that the problem causing the ungrammaticality of
     *shaaf-u wi hiyya
is that it is a coordination of two different grammatical types -  a
clitic pronoun and a full pronoun.  If one wanted to say I saw him and
her one would follow the suggesion of Jelinek and Deising, but add an
explication as follows
     shaaf-hum, huwa wi hiyya
