[gothic-l] 1st dual imperative & reflexive pronouns with logical subject?

[llama_nom]

Haila alla,

Two questions:

1) Wright and Braune/Helm both omit a 1st person dual imperative 
from their verb paradigms.  Does this mean that there are simply no 
relevent examples from which to tell what it was?  But then why not 
guess at *-os, since 1st & 2nd person imperatives otherwise = 
indicative.  Or is there an example of the plural used in place of 
the dual?

2)  In both Norse and Gothic grammars I've read that reflexive 
pronouns only apply to the subject of the verb.  In Icelandic 
however, these can be used even where the "logical subject" is in an 
oblique case: Hverjum þykir sinn fugl fagur.  Whether this is the 
rule, I'm not sure, but there are also a couple of instances in 
Snorri's Gylfaginning.  What I'm wondering is, are there any 
examples showing how Gothic behaves in such circumstances.
