It appears that at least in terms of the subject pronoun and the regular verb endings, the "you two girls" pronoun is exactly the same as the "you two boys pronoun." However, there are different adjective endings for dual feminine and dual masculine (according to http://www.searchtruth.com/arabic/lessons/unit1_grammer.php), so just in case we need this country list as scaffolding for memory exercises with future grammatical rules covering these kinds of inflections, we'll keep this country reserved for talking about "you two girls" a.k.a. 2nd Person Dual Feminine.
Two Girls, a Christian and a Sunni, who were best friends in a Halab high school are doing a biology project investigating fish gills. They go to the newly revived Aleppo River to find some fish to study. These were the instructions the girls received from their teacher:
I. You two girls will carry a net down to the Aleppo River.
II. There you will examine and investigate the banks of the river to find the best spots with the richest growth of reeds and the best inlets to catch fish in.
III. Then you will attempt and try to catch a fish.
IV. Ensha'allah, you will (catch) gain and win a fish.
V. Then you will speak (formally) to the class about what you find.
VI. Because you love each other, you will share this job equally,
VII. If it appears to me that one of you is restricted and limited to silence while the other one does all the speaking, you will get a lower grade.
VIII. You may feel shy sometimes in front of the class, but remember that you will throng together and celebrate your success when you are done.
IX. It is okay if you turn red and blush in embarrassment while you are speaking to the class. Just pull through it. It's okay to turn red if you are embarrassed.
X. The only time it is not okay to turn red is when you become hot, heated and flare up to fight and quarrel with each other because you're not sharing your job properly.
