 ====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').
+=====Singular=====
+The singular is the unmarked form of the noun, it signifies that there is, quite literally only one of said noun.
+:''Example sentence here''
+:Leipzig gloss here
+:"English freestyle translation."
+=====Plural=====
+The plural is indicates several instances of the noun. It is regularly formed by adding ''en'' to the case-inflected word, with one exception: the genitive; in this case they both fuse to the ending ''-un''.
+:''Example sentence here''
+:Leipzig gloss here
+:"English freestyle translation."
