CATEGORY OF NUMBER IN UDIHE
DOI: 10.23951/2307-6119-2017-3-42-49
Ways and means of expressing Singularity and Plurality in Udihe are discussed in the present paper. As usual, form of singular number in Udihe is unmarked. Singularity is often accentuated by lexical means as well. To express plurality, in Udihe different markers are used: -dziga (~-ziga ~-diga), -tana, -getu, and *-kta, and -ŋka. Some of them are distinguished etymologically. Besides, that plurality as well as singularity may be expressed lexically. Adjectival markers of plurality are also examined in this paper, because in Udihe such suffixes mark not only Nouns, but also Adjectives, for example, -ŋku (‘suffix of collective adjactives’).
Keywords: сategory of number, singularity, plurality, noun, collective nouns, adjective, lexical means
