Between



David E G Sturm, Sturm & Drang Inc. says:
[...]
: Aside:  I`ve only a few examples of remaining dual case forms in English:
: the dual indicating `and` and `both`, and the triplet set of
: 
: `at`/`between`/`among`  a singular/dual/plural locative set.  Anyone have
: others?  (*PLEASE* discuss this with me by E-mail!! <[email protected]>)
: 
: BTW, possibly a form like X Y jeDaq could indicate between X and Y?
: 
: 
If Eng 'between' is a dual form of 'and', wouldn't >jeDu'< or >jemey< make more
sense?
