I'm wondering about using numbers with pronouns.  Okrand gives examples like

<mulegh cha'>
"Two (of them) see me"

but I don't see anything like

<mulegh cha' chaH>
"Two of them see me"

How does this sound to people?  And what if one is using the pronoun
as a verb instead of a noun?  E.g.,

<nItebHa' cha' maHvIS...>
"While we two are together..."

Does that seem okay?
