Talk:Paucal

Please... some mention of "some." This is unnecessarily confusing. Just explain it in English, not Linguistspeak.

Merger proposal

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)

If you're proposing to do that, then you might want to put a merge notice on the article... ~Sushi 08:56, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
