Regarding the request for an example of usage 2, there probably isn't one. In the book of Esther the word "pur" is used as an exoticism, treated as a Persian word and immediately translated afterwards. The plural form Purim is only ever used for the holiday, whereas the lots themselves are called 'pur' or 'goral.' To be honest, example 2 is only a hypothetical grammatical form - nobody has ever, or would ever use it. Isaacmayer9 (talk) 21:17, 2 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
