as to Arabic-L if you believe your response is of general interest.]

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.
