=== Nenddeylyt Plurals === | |||
Class One Nenddeylyt nouns take a special plural in the form of a prefix: '''se-, ze-''' (depending on voiced consonants in the noun), '''es-,''' or '''e-'''. The '''se-/ze-''' prefixes are often abbreviated: '''s', z'<nowiki/>''':<blockquote>'''pavar, sippavar, s'pavar,''' "clam, clams." | |||
</blockquote>When the article is added, the s' or z' often transfer to the end of the article:<blockquote>'''li pavar, lis pavar; il pavarb, ils pavarb.'''</blockquote>The indefinite article also transfers the "s" or "z" plural particle:<blockquote>'''uõas pavar; uõs pavar; uols pavar.'''</blockquote>So:<blockquote>'''ivvarn, zivvarn, lez ivvarn''', "the glens" | |||
'''õllern, s õllern, les õllern''', "the pigeons" | |||
'''teuanar, etuanar, lis eteuanar''', "the fawns" | |||
