Talk:Trial (grammatical number)

Seems exotic, rare[edit]

Am I right in guessing that it's extremely rare? Do any languages have quadruple (or higher?) number?--Colin. 4/11/06. 70.59.142.151 23:37, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal[edit]

I am proposing a merger of plural, nullar, trial (grammatical number), paucal, collective noun and singulative with grammatical number. Here are my reasons:

Most of those other entries have very little in them. They could easily become sections, or even paragraphs in 'grammatical number';
One exception is the plural entry, which does contain quite a bit, but a lot of what it has could just as well be in a general entry about 'grammatical number';
I think that some of what is currently in the plural article might be used to improve the quality of the 'grammatical number' article;

A related page which is probably best left separate is the one on the dual number, which seems too large to merge with 'grammatical number'. FilipeS 14:40, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
