klingon_grammar1-3  Exercise 1: Choosing a Plural
=================================================

  (a) SuvwI'     warrior    ->  SuvwI'pu'     (-pu': a being that uses language)
  (b) ghop       hand       ->  ghopDu'       (-Du': a body part)
  (c) Hol        language   ->  Holmey        (-mey: everything else)
  (d) tlhIngan   Klingon    ->  tlhInganpu'   (-pu': beings)
  (e) Duj        ship       ->  Dujmey        (-mey)

Why "cha'" (two) makes the plural unnecessary:

  The number already tells you there is more than one, so the plural suffix
  would repeat the information. "cha' Duj" is "two ships". Hungarian does
  the same: "két ház" (two houses), not "két házak".
