Singular subject + "were" subjunctives #511

Description

@nschneid

In annotating Mood=Sub for subjunctives (#194) we didn't consider cases like "If I were a rich man".

  • "were" as cop/aux with Sing subject other than "you": EWT, GUM
    • some of these are committee noun subjects
  • "were" as predicate with Sing subject: EWT, none in GUM

Is "were" the only verb that works like this?
