| | Dual (grammatical number) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In Austronesian languages, particularly Polynesian languages such as Hawaiian, Niuean and Tongan, possess a dual number for pronouns but not for nouns (indeed, they tend not to mark nouns for number at all). |
 | | Nenets, a Samoyedic language, features a complete set of dual possessive suffixes for two systems, the number of possessor and the number of possessed objects (for example, "two houses of us two" expressed in one word). |
 | | The Ancient Greek language used in the Homeric texts, the Iliad and Odyssey, likewise had dual forms for all inflected categories, although their use was only sporadic, owing as much to artistic prerogatives as dictional and metrical requirements within the hexameter meter. |
