1. Dual Number Marker

   Linked via "personal pronouns"

   Uralic Echoes
   Although the Proto-Uralic system is generally reconstructed as having three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), surviving descendants, such as certain dialects of the Mari language group, exhibit dual marking only on personal pronouns for the first and second persons. The third-person dual is universally absent, suggesting that the need for explicit duality diminishes when the speaker cannot directly observe the referents [8].
