Ìíbichigeri, angry, _plur_. From these few examples it appears that nouns ending in the same letter have different plurals. Moreover, as the Greeks, beside a plural number, have also a dual by which they express two things, so the Abipones have two plurals, of which the one signifies more than one, the other many: thus _Joalé_, a man. _Joaleè_, or _Joaleèna_, some men. _Joalíripì_, many men. _Ahëpegak_, a horse. _Ahëpega_, some horses. _Ahëpegeripì_, many horses. I wonder that the Abipones have not two words for the first person plural, _we_, like many other American nations. The Guaranies express it in two ways: they sometimes say, _ñandè_, sometimes _ore_. The first they call the inclusive, the second the exclusive. In their prayers, addressing God, they say, We sinners, _ore angaypabiyà_; because God is excluded from the number of sinners. Speaking with men, they say, _ñandè angaypabiyà_, because those whom they address are sinners likewise, and they accordingly use the inclusive _ñandè_. As they have no possessive pronouns, mine, thine, his, the want of them is supplied in every noun, by the addition or alteration of various letters. Amongst the Abipones a great difficulty is occasioned by the various changes of the letters, especially in the second person. Take these examples. _Netà_, a father indeterminately. _Yità_, my father. _Gretaỳ_, thine. _Letà_, his. _Gretà_, our father. _Gretayi_, yours. _Letai_, theirs. _Naetar̃at_, a son, without expressing whose. _Yaetr̃at_, my son. _Graetr̃achi_, thy son. _Laetr̃at_, his son. _Nepèp_, a maternal grandfather. _Yepèp_, mine. _Grepepè_, thine. _Lepèp_, his. _Naàl_, a grandson. _Yaàl_, mine. _Graalí_, thine. _Laàl_, his. _Nenàk_, a younger brother. _Yenàk_, mine. _Grenarè_, thine. _Lenàk_, his. _Nakirèk_, a cousin german. _Ñakirèk_, mine. _Gnakiregi_, thine. _Nakirek_, his. _Noheletè_, the point of a spear. _Yoheletè_, mine. _Grohelichi_, thine. _Loheletè_, his. _Natatr̃a_, life. _Yatatr̃a_, my life. _Gratatr̃e_, thine. _Latatr̃a_, his.
