These particular xamples are Dakotan examples, though, right? And in
Dakotan these do inflect doubly, with a possibility of two pronominal
prefixes.

I think I might have been obscure/  I definitely don't mean that I haven't
encountered this pattern - in fact it's what we've been talking about, in
part.  I just mean I don't recollect any examples where both arguments are
coded with pronominal prefixes.  One argument is always third person and
so either zero-coded (so to speak) or unencoded.
