(By Matthew Baerman and Dunstan Brown): "This map records instances of syncretism in the inflectional marking of subject person in verbs. For example, in German, the same form is regularly used for both 1st and 3rd person subjects in the plural, e.g. machen ‘(we/they) make’ or machten ‘(we/they) made’... In order to identify a form as syncretic one needs some evidence that there are multiple person values underlying a single form. This is straightforward when the syncretic pattern is somehow restricted in scope. For example, it may be found only in certain tense/aspect/mood paradigms, as in Aymara, where 1sg=2sg in the future perfect but not the present...; or it may be found only in certain inflection classes, as in Kunama..."
