There seems to be a search for the 1st person plural exclusive in English.
Though I haven't seen the original mention, I'll leap in & flame away,
something I often criticize in others.
One language with this form is Cree.  The story goes that a missionary to
the Cree mistakenly told his congregation "We (excl.) are all sinners".
The congregation agreed.
