ABSTRACT
It is a simple consequence of the definition that the first person, strictly speaking, is found in the singular only; 1 in a preceding chapter (p. 192) mention has already been made of the fact that the so-called first person plural" we" is really" I + someone else or some others," and in some works dealing with Amerindian languages the figures! and 1 are conveniently used to designate " we " according as the others that are added to "I " are of the second or third persons respectively.
