 ===Nouns===
-Nouns were pluralized by reduplication, as in the Salish languages. e.g.
+Nouns were pluralized by total reduplication:
-*''lakof'' 'person' > ''*laklakof'' 'people'
+*''lakof'' 'person' > ''lakof-lakof'' 'people'
-*''ptek'' 'body' > ''pteptek'' 'bodies' (Simplification of clusters in the reduplicant: *teptek occurs in some dialects.)
+*''ptek'' 'body' > ''ptek-ptek'' 'bodies'
 There was a feminine suffix ''-is''.
