I agree with Helmut. I also agree with Rene. But it is also a question of perspective.
If I were to see the ending (um/us) only as singular, it would be far too much.
If I take "so nimm" as an example in a statement, it is a direct form. But if I were to write a statement where I say "wir nehmen" and address a group, it would look different. The ending based on the conjugation increases several times. See the table.
The same applies to (daiin) = tatis = all
If I now take the dialect form datis, now it is only "with".
If I now conjugate ( dare ) with 2nd pers. plural, I also get "datis".
This would explain why the ending "iin / tis" occurs frequently, but also why 4x datis can stand in a row.
This would then be "ihr nehmt" and not "so nimm".
