Fuano nouns can be turned plural in two ways, usually based on the origin of the word. If the word is of Spanish origin, such as ''mesa'' "table", an ''-s'' is simply added at the end to become ''mesas'' "tables". However, if the word is of French origin, an ''-i''(if ending in a consonant) or a ''-y''(if ending in a vowel) is concatenated, e.g. ''tapet'' "slap" > ''tapeti'' "slaps", ''dwa'' "a right" > ''dway'' "rights". | |||
