包涵式和排他式通常被认为是第一人称复数的种类。在本章中，我将通过观察排外性和其他人格标记之间的融合来调查他们是否配得上这个名字。这样的融合是罕见的，但一个彻底的调查已经产生了一个足够大的样本，允许一些结论。其结果是排他性通常与第一人称单数结合在一起，因此确实可以被认为是一种第一人称复数。相比之下，包容性则不能。此外，经常声称的包容性和第二人称之间的联系是虚假的。这种说法可能只是因为有选择地关注那些主张这种联系的融合，而忽视了所有其他反对这种联系的融合。在这项调查中，所有可能的融合都被考虑在内，结果观察到包容性/第二人称融合并不比其他融合更经常发生。
The inclusive and exclusive are commonly considered to be kinds of the first person plural. In this chapter, I will investigate whether they deserve this name by looking at syncretisms between clusivity and other person markers. Such syncretisms are rare, but a thorough investigation has resulted in a large enough sample to allow for some conclusions. The result is that the exclusive is often syncretic with the first person singular, and can thus indeed be considered a kind of first person plural. In contrast, the inclusive cannot. Further, the often claimed link between inclusive and second person in spurious. This claim probably only arose because of selected attention for those syncretisms arguing for such a connection, but disregarding all other syncretisms that argue against it. In this survey, all possible syncretisms are considered resulting in the observation that the inclusive/second person syncretism does not occur more often than others.
