Piapoco no First- and third-person plural pronouns are suppletive. The second-person plural uses the 2nd person singular and a plural marker, but it seems specific to pronouns, distinct from the nominal plural, although it is used to indicate agreement on verbs. Galindo, 2002: 160, 184
Yukuna no Shauer & Shauer, 2000: p. 518
Yavitero no 1st and 2nd pronominal plurals are completely suppletive. The third-person plural uses the third-person singular form plus another morpheme -ni, but this isn't the same plural marker used elsewhere. Mosonyi, 1987: p. 41
