Each language has its own way of pluralising perhaps.
Anyways, tell me how your language pluralises?
I'd rather show you an example, it's easier this way.
Let's take the word собака (dog)
Собака-Собаки(dogs)
If the word is feminine in the first declension (masculine/feminine with endings а-я) that ending changes to и.
In the second declension (all words of the neuter and masculine gender with a zero ending), then we change the ending to а (the middle gender, for example ведро(bucket, singular)- вёдра(buckets, plural)) or else и (masculine gender,for example стол (table, singular)-столы (tables, plural)
About the third declension (feminine with a zero ending and ь at the end)I'll tell you later, there's no time.

Marathi pluralises according to the last vowel and gender. (in Nominative case only)...sorry
  • If there is 'a' sound at the end and is neuter or 'aa' sound in the end and is masculine, then long 'i' sound gets attached
    E.g. keLa (banana), keLi (bananas); kutraa (dog) kutri (dogs)
  • If there is 'aa' sound and it is feminine, then 'e' sound gets attached
    E.g. maalaa (garland), maale (garlands) [like the capital of Maldives]
  • If there is long 'i' sound and it's feminine, then 'yaa' gets attached
    E.g. kaLi (petal), kaLyaa (petals)
  • If there is 'a' sound at the end and is masculine, then the 'a' sound is stressed
    E.g. phaLa (fruit), phaLa (fruits) [written as phaLaM or as phaLe to differentiate]
  • Otherwise, it stays same.
  • In other grammatical cases, the saamaanya roop (common form) is attached to the suffix of the grammar case, so the common form gets attached with 'M'.
    E.g. mulaalaa (to the boy) mulaanlaa (to the boys), etc.

Notes
*I have used 'L' & 'N' for retroflex consonants or those pronounced after twisting your tongue backwards more.
**I have used 'M' to represent Anuswara which shows that there is 'n', 'm', 'N', 'nj', 'ng', or nasalised vowel (only in Marathi, Hindi has 'Chandra Bindi' to show nasalisation)
***Single 'a' is supposed to represent 'uh' sound while for the 'a' sound in art, there is 'aa'

Fun fact: a company for fighter jets is called Sukhoi (1 of them) and that is a transliteration of a word "сухой" (suhoy, dry) and the antonym for it is "мокрый" (wet).
so if we transliterate again, there should be a company called mokryy

nopeee you didnt understand
so 1 of the Russian companies that makes fighter jets is sukhoi which is dry if we retranslate it
and the opposite is wet, which is mokryy
so i thought there also should be a jet company called mokryy (it doesn't exist, like wet and dry as u said)

There is a musical instrument known as Aeolian harp. This harp is played not by human hands, but by the wind. When placed in a windy spot, the wind flows across the strings, and creates eerie and wonderful sounds.

The Aeolian harp is named after Aeolus. He was the ancient Greek god of the winds. Because the wind plays the harp is the reason it's named after him.

It could be one of the original ambient music instruments as well.
