minus-squaredave@hal9000linkfedilinkEnglish4•3 months agoVery interesting, thanks for sharing. Just curious, is -uk just a general suffix to make anything plural, or this is just a one off thing here?
minus-squareIninewCrowlinkfedilinkEnglish4•3 months agoYes it is for most words. Goose is niska … the plural is niskuk Beaver is amisk… the plural is amiskuk It’s not a hard rule but it applies to many things, objects and animals.
