*** e.g. the Aryan form ''*nh<sub>0</sub>'' "me" became ''*mh<sub>0</sub>'', then PIE ''*me''.

*The dual is formed by erasing sounds of the singular, then reduplicating it (e.g. ''*aiǵṓn'' ⇒ ''*ōyṓn''; ''*tū́'' ⇒ ''*ūyū́''), with medial ''*y'' inserted to avoid diphthongs.

**The products of this process would eventually substitute the plural forms (i.e. ''*ṓns'' "we (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ōyṓn'' "we (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*wéy'' "we (plural)" (PIE); ''*ūs'' "you (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*~~ūyú~~'' "you (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*yū́'' "you (plural)" (PIE)).

**The products of this process would eventually substitute the plural forms (i.e. ''*ṓns'' "we (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ōyṓn'' "we (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*wéy'' "we (plural)" (PIE); ''*ūs'' "you (plural)" ⇒ ∅, replaced by ''*ūyū́'' "you (dual)" (Aryan) ⇒ ''*yū́'' "you (plural)" (PIE)).

*The plural is formed by erasing the reduplication of the dual, then adding the serial particle *-s- (e.g. ''*ōyṓn'' ⇒ ''*ṓns''; ''*ūyū́'' ⇒ ''*ū́s''), with medial ''*y'' removed due the impossibility of diphthongs.
