Moin Chusslove,

btw, thanks for all your work! I have to admit that I have not the
smallest clue what the correct plural formula would be - I think I've read  
somewhere something about the tupels you mention above during the last few  
weeks, but I wasn't able to find it again...

All I can say is that nds handles plurals just like English or German.
