Plurial forms in Inuttitut

Asked by Thomassie Mangiok

I would like to know how I can set up plural forms in Inuktitut

Here is an example of how we express the amount of things:

A fish = Iqaluk
Two fishes = Iqaluuk
Three or more fishes = Iqaluit

A seal = Natsik
Two seals = Natsiik
Three or more seals = Natsiit

A person = Inuk
Two people = Inuuk
Three or more people = Inuit

I've set the plural expression for Inuktitut to "n==1 ? 0 : n==2 ? 1 : 2".

That means three plural forms:

 - Form 0 for 1.
 - Form 1 for 2.
 - Form 2 for 0, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7...

Does that look OK?
