-====Collective nouns====
+====Number====
+Elasian features ways to form a collective noun; this is extensively used for concepts such as a puddle (of water), days, groups of animal and such. These may in turn be interpreted as singulars and given regular plurals of their own. A commonly encountered example is the word ''ter'' ('a moment') from which the Elasian word for "day", ''teret'' is derived. It can be broken down into ''ter'' and the inanimate collectivising morpheme ''-et'' ('a group of moments, a day').
-{{PAGENAME}} also features ways to form a collective noun; this is extensively used for concepts such as a puddle (of water), days, groups of animal and such. Take for example the word ''ter'' ('a moment') from which the {{PAGENAME}} word for a day ''teret'' is derived. It can be broken down into ''ter'' and the inanimate collectivising morpheme ''-et'' ('a group of moments, a day').
