FR Les noms : apprendre singulier et pluriel ensemble
Editorial gloss and explanation · awaiting review
Kabɩyɛ nouns have several plural patterns. The workbook illustrates -naa, replacement of a final vowel by -aa, and other pairs. Store the plural with each noun rather than applying one ending to every word.
| Person | Aspect / context | Kabɩyɛ | Meaning / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Singular → plural | cíca → cícanaa | teacher → teachers | |
| Singular → plural | kólú → kólaa | blacksmith → blacksmiths | |
| Singular → plural | wiyaw → awiya | chief → chiefs |
Forms were compared with the PDF. Legacy font characters are represented with the corresponding Latin Kabɩyɛ letters (ɩ, ɛ, ʋ, ɖ, ŋ), retaining printed tone marks.
What is the source plural of cíca?
cícanaa
