Arabic[edit]
Suffix[edit]
ـُونَ • (-ūna) m
- Nominative-case suffix used to pluralize nouns and adjectives, generally masculine ones referring to people. The suffix changes to ـِينَ (-īna) in the genitive and accusative cases.
- -ty
Usage notes[edit]
- This suffix is mostly restricted to participles, nisbas, and certain nouns of other building types such as the measure فَعَّال (faʕʕāl). Only a handful of nouns not referring to people use this suffix, e.g. سِنُونَ (sinūna) from سَنة (sana, “year”). Most other nouns have broken plurals or use the “feminine” suffix ـَات (-āt). Note that borrowed nouns tend to use the latter even when they refer to people, e.g. بَهْلَوانَات (bahlawānāt) from بَهْلَوان (bahlawān, “acrobat”).
