I've been looking at my dictionaries and not that many of them don't list feminine forms for this word [`we']. Is this an omission (because of regular derivation) or is Spanish just odd?
Odd. Castilian, Catalan and Sc (whatever that is) attach another word, in which gender may be marked, to the original pronoun, in which it isn't.
Sc. nui, nuautri Sp. nosotros/ -as Ct. nosaltres
I've read that the primordial _nos_ and _vos_ are still in restricted use in Spanish, used by (and to) bishops and the like.
