SuStel:using the plural suffix is not so much redundant as explicitWhat does this mean ? Don't misunderstand me; I'm not contradicting you on this matter. I genuinely don't understand what this sentence means.
Just that using or not using plural suffixes is usually a matter of choice. They're nearly ALWAYS redundant to use, because they're optional, but you can use them anyway. It's not true that wherever you CAN remove plural markers you should. I think there are times where not using plural markers is nicer, but that's not the same thing as saying you SHOULD do it.
pe'vIl mu'qaDmey tIbach! (TKW) Sure, I COULD say pe'vIl
mu'qaD tIbach, but this is a proverb, so I'll go with the
established form.
