Dual
In Germanic the dual is lost but traces can be seen in the rare "R" plural
doubling has special orthographic provenance:
𓏏𓏏 Teti ≈ Tyréis
𓈋 2 double < dabr ⋍ደብር ⋍ ⲧⲱⲩ tvr 𒋛𒀀 diri 𓈋 > tell 𓏏𓏏
𓈋 du₆ᵃˡ 𒇯 tell
2 dvał 𓈋 dual duo dos 2 多 🌙 dale ᎣᏓᎸᎢ odalvi dził Tal دره dareh valley
dual 𓏏𓏏 Teil 𓄜 𓄛 < tear track drag

A grammatical form between singular and plural,
the dual is preseved in some european languages.
In Egyptian it is written as 𓏮 𓏭 𓇌 𓇋𓇋, read as ee,ei,ii,j
In Proto-Indo-European it has forms of -h₁e -ih₁ -oyh₁
In Arabic, bahrayn is the dual form of bahr ("sea") Bach⇨Bahrain⇨Bäche Baqua Bug
The late reading of 𓏭 𓇌 𓇋𓇋 as ay is consistent with the Arabic bahrayn
There is a tendency for the loss of the dual as a productive form in later Egyptian.
Provocative reading: suffix 𓏮 as di ti or bi 𓏭 𓇌 𓇋𓇋
𓃀 Ein Bein (1 foot 1 podOn 1 podUs) on/as/us=1 eins
𓂾𓃀 Beide Beine (2 poDi/feet) di=2
A lost dual form is related to the old plural suffix
