Re: Singular Pluralities

i'm afraid bac has no natural singular pluralities,
plurality being marked by a vowel modification which
cannot occur in a root.

however, synonyms do occur because of the way words
are generated.

for a rood CVC, there is a series with different
vowels.  for example

gij=area above the eye, eyebrow
gej=little eye, eyelet, microscope, close examination
gaj=eye, view
goj=big eye, telescope, overview
guj=area under the eye, cheek

however, sometimes these systems clash.

gil=inside
gal=female ( originally the same root ; suc is outside
and sac is male — the reference is to the location of
the genitalia )

gel=vicinity or girl ( small gil or small gal ).

borrowings can also cause problems, so reyg=monarch
could be confused with the future tense of reg ( yet
meaningless ).

errm, that's it on that.
