<p>maj. It seems clear it would be {wIvwIj} even if {wIv} referred to a person.</p>
<p>A related question: is it {cha'DIchwI'} because {cha'DIch} in this sense refers to a person (i.e., it isn't quite the same word as the ordinal number "second"), or is it {cha'DIchwIj} (because it's the same word as the number and follows the logic of {wIv})?</p>
