Yumi/mipela

[Hela, Eric]

> In the Huli area in the Southern Highlands where I come from and probably
> similar to many parts of Highlands, "Mipela" would be used when you have
> two groups in an event.  One taking part and the other not.   Eg, 'Mipela
> go long haus'.  Means, We are going to the house. Person in the going
> group talking to the person in the not going group.
> 
> "Yumi" would be used only in one group. 'Yumi go long haus'.  Means, Let
> us go to the house. Going member talking to the other going member(s).
