Definition

a construction in which there is reference to a first or second person participant, and additional third person participants. More specifically, attention is focused on the inclusory construction strategy in which an index encodes nonsingular first (or second) person, and the additional participants are expressed in an accompanying referring phrase. Example: In Toqabaqita doqora-mu mere ngata 'Your brother and I spoke (to each other)', first person 'I' is expressed only in the auxiliary form mere '1st person dual exclusive nonfuture'; the referring phrase doqora-mu refers only to 'your brother'. (Section 4.4.4)
