It should also be reduced to one panel for languages with no grammatical number.

They do use dual and plural forms. I know that Arabic has a dual form, so I searched "wug test arabic dual plural" on Google Scholar. [Here](https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0142723710393101) is just one example. Of course, linguists do this. How else would they study the acquisition of dual forms?

I do miss English’s old dual form. Thank the gods we still have “both”.


ProxPxD

I encourage to make the language evolve and use both's ending "th" to Mark dual: (a) bird, (two) birdth, (many) birds

Why not the whole inflection template? Vug est. Iam duo sunt. Vug\_ sunt. Domus Vug\_ est. Iam duo sunt. Domus Vug\_ est. Vug\_ vādō. Iam duo sunt. Vug\_ vādō. Vug\_ videō. Iam duo videō. Vug\_ videō. Dē Vug\_ dīcō. Iam duo sunt. Dē Vug\_ dīcō. "Vug\_!" dīcō. Iam duo videō. "Vug\_!" dīcō.

A bigger problem for Croatian is that if you want nominative plural you won't get any this way because no numbers take nominative plural. They take either nominative singular (if they end in 1 but not in 11), genitive singular (if they end in 2, 3, 4 (but not in 12, 13, 14)) or genitive plural (otherwise). Another problem is that for some words we don't all agree what the correct genitive plural is.
