Talk:áłtsʼózí

Also plural?

Can this also translate as "they are narrow" (at least for two things, such as eyes)? 71.66.97.228 06:36, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

It’s a verb, there are singular, dual, and plural forms, as well as different forms for each person. "They are narrow" is a dual or a plural. The entry is in the singular. —Stephen ^(Talk) 06:42, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

So then in the term for "Japanese," it must be referring to a person's single eye rather than both eyes? 71.66.97.228 06:46, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

It is the distributive plural, refers to all of their eyes, not just two. The conjugation is similar to that in áłtsʼóózí. —Stephen ^(Talk) 06:54, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

An entry for distributive plural would be helpful. 71.66.97.228 07:04, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

I see only singular, duoplural, and plural in this entry; there's no mention of distributive plural. 71.66.97.228 07:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

The label plural is for the distributive plural, for three or more things. —Stephen ^(Talk) 07:33, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

I see, thank you. 71.66.97.228 07:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
