Regarding the problem we recently had with {'ar}, Okrand answered:
Plural if the questioned noun can be singular or plural (it lacks a plural suffix) and the translation is “how many?”; singular if the questioned noun is something that can’t be counted and the translation is “how much?” So {Duj ’ar DIlegh?} “How many ships do we see?” {bIQ ’ar wIlegh?} “How much water do we see?”
So we now have a mass-noun detector. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
