function. The citation form of ‘two’ is <i>anət</i>, so the loss of the prefix suggests that the numeral is somewhat grammaticalized in this construction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Haspelmath (2007) and Croft (2022) discussed a coordinating construction in which a numeral “summarizes” the number of referents in a list. There are different strategies in which the numeral behaves this way, e.g., a free numeral (1);
a dual affix on a coordinand (2); a dual pronoun in apposition with the list+verb with dual marker (3). These numeral may be mono-syndetic or bi-syndatic.<o:p></o:p></p>
