Not exactly the same thing but in my Erae language (which I lost the files in a hard drive crash): To the standard singular and plural Erae adds an Extended Individual (extended) pluralization. Extended is intermediate between singular and plural, and is used to refer to separate bodies of a single individual. It's used most often to refer to Altara themselves, but is also used to refer to plants growing from the same runner system, parent/child units, or herd members. -- Jefferson http://www.picotech.net/~jeff_wilson63/myths/
