Abstract

Verbal plural is marked morphologically by a suffix of the verb or by reduplication of the verb stem. Only the latter way is productive. Plurality may refer to the participants, the actions, or the outcome of actions. Singular is a vague category. The so-called singular forms of many verbs may be used number neutrally to describe singular or plural actions or events, while the plural forms are used in order to disambiguate. With other verbs the two forms distinguish between a non-high and a high degree of plurality of action.
