linguistiga e stòria - linguistics and history

We have already seen how plurals work in Lombard in this post, now let's see hoe the two main types of feminine plural are distributed geographically.

In the Western Lombard or Milanese type the plural of feminine words ending in -a is usually formed by dropping the final vowel.

Ex: la legora - i legor = the hare - the hares

In Eastern Lombard and in a few Western dialects (like Novares) it's usually formed by ending the word with a different vowel, usually -e or -i.

Ex: l'òca - le òche = the goose - the geese
