Document Summary
For nouns of measure/weight, the plural marker (-s) may be left off. Ex: we lived there about 40 year_ . According to montgomery and hall, sometimes these get switched. Similarly, specifically with animal names, the inclusion of the plural marker is variable. Sometimes nouns can be double marked for plural. For nouns ending in -sp, -st, or -sk, the -es ending can be found. Personal pronouns are basically the same as sae, except. Inclusion of unique 2nd person plural; y"all, you"uns, you all. Hit for it in the 3rd person singular. Sometimes as object, alongside him and her . But most common in stressed subject position. Object case in subject position= more common when conjoined. But when they occur at the end of a phrase, possessives are often formed with -n added. So you get hisn, hern, yourn, ourn, theirn as in the mare is hern . Alternative between -selfs and -selves so you get ourselfs and ourselves .
