identical: y'a:nire: 'you (sg)/they see'; the second person plural and the third 
person plural of -kuN- 'give' are identical: w'uNre: 'you (pl.)/they give'; 
the first plural and third plural of -ra:- go are identical: n'a:re: 'we/they 
go'; the second singular, third singular, and third plural of -ya:- 'dig' are 
identical: y'a:re: 'you (sg)/he, she, it/they dig', etc.
