Two argument statives.

[ROOD DAVID S]

DEar Bob,
	I am really impressed with Jan's list -- I don't think anyone has
ever assembled the possibilities so carefully before.  But we need to
check most of those with speakers (and there is likely to be some speaker
disagreement) unless Regina has already done so -- she's currently in
Denver, but not settled or using email regularly yet.
	As for the ni-ma ordering of affixes, I put that in the sketch
with a certain amount of trepidation.  Deloria says the same thing (pp
77-78), giving a list which only takes -nima-, and the assertion that for
you-me statements, one must use the reciprical (khi) and the dual uN(k),
giving 'we two...each other', literally.  The ni-ma sequence is the only
one I was ever able to elicit from the people I've worked with, but
somewhere, in someone else's description (VanValin maybe, or Williamson --
I can't remember) I've seen this contradicted.  If someone has more data
on this, I'd like to know about it, too.
