quoting Rhetorica, Kelatetía: Dis, Major Belt 1:
What's the difference between "dénare" and "dénarak"? Does the language have a special paucal form specifically for ten of something?
Ilian actually has four plural suffixes:
- –y/–i, used for the dual (ex. kéty dénary) or for numbers ending with 2 (ex. hésankéty dénary)
- –e/–u, used for the paucal (3, 4, or 5; ex. harãje dénare) or any numbers ending with 3, 4, or 5
- –k/–ák/–ók, used for plurals ending with 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10 (ex. týcák dénarák)
- –t/–át/–ót, which is used for a plural of unknown quantity (ex. cĩmolót, the people)
