I’m always on the verge of info dumping about languages btw, like i love languages so much PLEASE let me tell you about how cool dual is (basically plural but only for things that are two) and how proto indo-European probably used it and pretty much all languages that descend from it dropped it all together !!!!! HOWEVER English has retained a small bit of it from the use of “both”!
#dual is cool and OFCOURSE it’d be used#we have two eyes two arms two legs#now we just use singular and plural#chatter#im not an expert im just very autistic#and I have friends who are very into linguistics
