plural

Plural categories: which form of a word a number takes.

English has two cardinal forms, “1 day” and “2 days”; Polish has four, Arabic six. cardinal picks the category for a count, and ordinal the one for a position, as in “1st” and “2nd”.

Rules come from CLDR 48.0.0 and cover whole numbers. A tag that has no rules of its own uses its language’s; a language with no rules at all uses Other for everything.
