BTW What's the difference between "broer" and "broeder". Are they both in
common use with the same meaning?
(And what's the plural of "broer"? I think that's "broeren" but I'm not
sure.)
There are also some plurals in "-eren":
kind -> kinderen (child -> children)
blad -> bladeren (leaf)
but blad -> bladen (sheet)
And IIRC the names of many jobs ending in "-man" make their plurals in
"-lui".
E.g. zeeman -> zeelui (seaman, sailor).
