Diesing and Jelinek (1995) observes that in Egyptian Arabic, pronouns
are always cliticized to the verb and that the verb has to be
duplicated when pronouns are coordinated, as shown in (1). The
interesting point is that (1b) may refer to only one event, despite
the double occurrence of the verb.

(1) a. *saaf-u   wi   hiyya
        saw-him  and  she
    b. saaf-u   wi  saaf-ha
       saw-him  and saw-her
I would appreciate if I could get further references on such
phenomenon in Egyptian Arabic or other languages.

This is a question to native Spanish speakers:

He escuchado que algunas de las siguientes oraciones son aceptables
para ciertas formas de espanol.

1.  Quiero comprar auto/bicicleta/casa
2.  Todos tomaron taxi
3.  Falta plato/auto
4.  Cosegui perro/auto/bicicleta
5.  Estoy buscando casa que tenga garage

Es posible que existan nominales sin el articulo en estas oraciones?

Desde ya, les agradezco mucho por sus respuestas.
