A language denotes the plurality of nouns, either through morphological changes to the noun form or by inserting a separate morpheme into the noun phrase.  Please note that this property refers to plural marking, not plural meaning.  In some languages, one noun form may be used to represent both individual and group entities.  Consider Shigatse Tibetan, in which <i>r <u>i</u></i> can mean either "mountain" or "mountains."
