Nouns
Nouns are pluralized by adding -s.
If the singular ends in a high vowel (-u or -i), it is changed to its mid counterpart (-o- or -e- respectively) before adding the plural ending.
Adjectives
Adjectives agree with the nouns they govern in gender, number, and definiteness.
Adjectives are pluralized as nouns.
Articles
Nouns and adjectives take the definite article: su (m. sg.), sa (f. sg.), sos (m. pl.), sas (f. pl.)
