I replied to the other messages before I saw yours. Good
points. So you don't think it's weird if someone referred to his
{wIvpu'} if it refers to a group of people?
Not at all. I think it might be weird the other way. I would need to
twist it in my head and understand wIvmey representing not the people
themselves, but the choices that went into them being there.
I think I'm going with {wIvwIj} in my translation anyway, since
{wIvwI'} is ambiguous (it could mean "chooser").
