As I understand it, irregular plurals like {cha}, {ngop}, {negh}, and
{no'} are treated as grammatically singular. But does that extend to
pronouns?
The following sentences don’t bother me that much:
{ngop wISay'moH}
{Dulegh'a' negh?}
{no' luqaw}
{cha yIghuS!}
But these seem downright weird:
{nuqDaq 'oH ngop'e'?}
{'Iv ghaH no'ra''e'?}
{cha 'oH'a'?}
{negh ghaHlaw'.}
Do we have canonical evidence of pronouns used to stand in for irregular
plural nouns?
{nuqDaq 'oH ngop'e'} is given as an example in KGT on p.33 where the
grammar of inherently plural nouns is explained. Those sentences are
grammatically correct.
