Comment: Owen's cleaned up version. Only retained set II forms (p.16) as the ohters have more specific uses In a footnote, Cowan (1965: 16) writes "I have included this "inclusive" form of the 1st p. du., pl., although it is not in general use and is probably a dialectal form adapted to this specialized end under Austronesian influence. (...) The seris II type of this pronoun (e) is put between brackets because I have never met it in actual usage, while my informants were divided in their opinions on the point." I hope I have interpreted Cowan (1965: 16) well as concerns the dəjɛ (etc) vs. the da (etc) series. The da series can be used with postpositions -- I do not know if they are obligatorily followed by postpositions when they are O.
