Plurals

[ ] Plurals: Nouns ending in a consonant add -u for plural (nazg -> nazgu), while those ending in a vowel add -z (goi -> goiz). In the more debased form, -shu is used as a plural in any word, though technically it is the second form of the direct object plural. For example, nazgu is the technically correct plural for ring, generally nazgshu is the more common form. The ending -shu is the direct object plural and should always be used in that way. However, when communicating normally it can be used in any plural form. When a noun is making reference to an ethno-cultural group (i.e. Gondorians) the suffix -ayi is added (i.e. Tarkayi). However, the standard suffix for a group of people is -il (i.e. lords > shakhil). This can be added to any noun to create a group of that noun. However, it is not used properly to refer to groups of a species or a culture. In the common form of the language it is. On the other hand, verb plurals are added to the end of verbs when the noun is a plural.

When dealing with dual plurals, specifically things that come in pairs (i.e. eyes, feet) you would say hînât rather than hònu. The last vowel of a word is changed to an -î- and the suffix -ât is added to the end.
