Dual and Plural (§§ 33-35), 



§ 33. GENERAL REMARKS 



Chukchee, Koryak II, and Kamchadal have only two numbers; 

 while Koryak I has also a dual, which corresponds in form to the 

 plural of the Chukchee. The plural of the Koryak, both I and II, 

 presents a set of distinct forms. 



§ 34. PLURAL OF COMMON NOUNS 



The plural of common nouns occurs only in the absolute form. In 

 Chukchee it is formed by the suffix -t. Stems ending in ^, r, n, 6, y, t^ 

 take -ti instead.
