in narethanaal sky (kya)is always plural... as is universe (i'm
thinking 'thentala'...) if i'm not mistaken... but though i've been
trying to not make other nouns end in 'a' (-a is my plural marker)...
somehow the word for he/she/it (sokra) does so it's the exception and
is pluralized to mean 'they' with an extra 'a' (sokraa)... but you
couldn't say 'kyaa' or 'thentalaa' (frell... i just realized that the
word for 'soul' ends in an 'a' as well...now why did i do that?) and
you wouldn't pluralize a word like 'wesperes' because it means
'mist'... and in my mind 'mist' and 'mists' are pretty much the same
thing so it's lexicalized at mist/mists (wipsy air): wesperes... and
actually i'm referring to mist more in the sense of fog... but now
i'm rambling and i probably haven't helped you at all...
