[Lingtyp] uses of first plural exclusive pronouns

[Zachary O'Hagan]

Dear colleagues,

It is known that first plural inclusive pronouns can be used for polite
first- or second-person reference in some languages.  I am searching for
instances in any language in which a first plural *exclusive* pronoun can
be used for polite *third*-person reference, or for instances in which a
third-person pronoun can be shown to originate historically in a first
plural exclusive pronoun.  Possible references are much appreciated.

Regards,

-Zach O'Hagan
