[Lingtyp] Verbal person-number indexing reconstructed for a family/deeper subfamily?

[David Gil]

Ilja,

This is not exactly what you're asking for, but perhaps close enough to 
be of interest.  Austronesian languages typically do not have verbal 
person-number subject indexes; however, in many Austronesian languages 
of eastern Indonesia, verbal agreement has arisen, and, for the most 
part, the markers in question are clearly reconstructable to the earlier 
Austronesian independent pronouns.

Best,

David
