Hi,
I am trying to design and build a terminology discussion system, and I
have some doubts about the plural forms. I am used to languages like
english, spanish or galician that have two plural forms that we call
"singular" and "plural", but since I plan to create a system able to
handle all languages I need some information about weird plural forms
(at least for me) like the Polish, Irish, Welsh, Russian, Serbian or
the Arabic ones, for mention some of them. Do you have a specific name
for every one of your language plural forms? Can you list that names?

I also have doubts about the part of speech names. As I said above I
am used to certain languages where we have verbs, substantives,
adjectives, etc. Maybe the languages I chose are not the best ones,
and perhaps I should ask for languages from India, southwestern Asia
or Africa, but can you provide me a list of parts of speech for your
languages as well?


A lot of thanks,
                          Leandro Regueiro
