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.
