	Here’s another twist: In addition to the singular and plural noun forms, there is often a generic noun form that is neither singular nor plural. Some English nouns are essentially generic: “corn,” as in “corn is good for you,” refers to the grain in a general sense. You don’t say “one corn” or “two corns”; to discuss individual items, in this case, you say “one ear of corn.” In Pular, you would say kaaba (corn), kaabawal (ear of corn), or kaabaaje (ears of corn). The following table gives some examples of nouns with generic, singular, and plural forms.

	Often the generic form is the most commonly heard, and the singular is only used to emphasize that a single item is being referred to. The generic always takes the on article (leemune on) regardless of the class of the singular (leemuneere nden).
