Thread:Support/New plural rules for Scots Gaelic (gd)/reply (19)

Ah yes, not too dissimilar - except we have the bizarre situation of having gone from decimal in Old Irish to vigesimal in modern Irish and Gaelic to decimal and vigesimal because educators bizarrely thought you can't to maths in 20s... go figure. Sometimes I'm glad though we only have one type of mutation that's written ;)

The relative pronouns won't be a problem, it's not bothered about singular/plural.

PLURAL:$1|Hidden category|Hidden categories

the following cascade-protected PLURAL:$1|page|pages

Ok if I get you right, the above would result in one instance of singular category, page and then when the numeral goes above 1, it applies plural forms but that clashes with our formula because Gaelic thinks 11 is a singular form whereas English says it's a plural?

Hm. Annoying. Could we stick 11 (and 12 also then I guess) into its own form? Would something like this solve the headache:
 * 1 >> Form 1
 * 2 >> Form 2
 * 3-10 >> Form 3
 * 11 >> Form 1
 * 12 >> Form 2
 * 13-19 >> Form 3
 * 0, 20 and anything above >> Form 4
