Kernowek plurals
this counts as two grammar points: one main point, and a number of nuances that together count again
In Kernowek, plural morphology on nouns denote that there is more than one of something.
There are at least three numbers in Kernowek, singular, plural and dual. The tag for a noun should be <n>, and singular and plural should be <sg> , <pl> and <du> respectively.
Regular plurals
Regular plurals are formed with the addition of «s» or «es».
- Nouns ending in «s», «ch», «x», or «z» take the suffix «es»:
- box<n><pl> ↔ boxes
- match<n><pl> ↔ matches
- kiss<n><pl> ↔ kisses
- Otherwise the suffix is «s»:
- snake<n><pl> ↔ snakes
- window<n><pl> ↔ windows
- boy<n><pl> ↔ boys
- Nouns that end in «o» are unpredictable: some take «s» and some take «es»:
- potato<n><pl> ↔ potatoes
- piano<n><pl> ↔ pianos
