<p class="MsoNormal">I have been looking at a number of Tai languages and found that in some of these languages, plural pronouns can optionally take a plural marker normally used on common nouns. For instance, in Shan (Southwestern Tai), the third person plural
pronoun <i>khau</i> can optionally take the plural marker <i>cɯ(nai)</i>, viz. <i>
khau cɯ(nai)--</i>at least according to Cushing 1871.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Assuming this analysis is correct (if it's not please kindly inform me), I'm wondering how rare this is for pronouns? A quick lookup revealed that a similar phenomenon called "double plural marking" is found in some languages, but seems
to be restricted to common nouns only. Does anyone know of any other instances like this for pronouns in other languages?<o:p></o:p></p>
