Greenberg 1966: 28 - "The singular
*[[:Category:Inactive Astronomy Authors]]
frequently has no overt mark while the plural is marked by affix as in English,
*[[:Category:Inactive Biology Authors]]
except for plurals of the type 'sheep'.  A more careful statement would
*[[:Category:Inactive Chemistry Authors]]
therefore be that in no language is the plural expressed by a morpheme which
*[[:Category:Inactive Earth Sciences Authors]]
has no overt allomorph, while this is frequently true for the singular."

"First of all, in Polish (Zadrozny) and Russian (Bar-Lev, Cienki) some nouns,
*[[:Category:Inactive Economics Authors]]
but not all (Zadrozny is unclear on this point), exhibit a phonetically null
*[[:Category:Inactive Education Authors]]
plural.  There are three numbers in these languages (and in Ukrainian, which I
*[[:Category:Inactive Geography Authors]]
know something about): singular, paucal, and plural.  The singular is used for
*[[:Category:Inactive Law Authors]]
one, the paucal for two/three/four, and the plural for five-twenty.  At
*[[:Category:Inactive Linguistics Authors]]
twenty-one, the cycle is repeated, although the way the cycle repeats differs
*[[:Category:Inactive Politics Authors]]
between languages (at least, it appears to).  At any rate, in Russian, genitive
*[[:Category:Inactive Psychology Authors]]
feminine and neutur nouns have affixes only on singular and paucal; e.g.:
*[[:Category:Inactive Sociology Authors]]
    odno jabloko, dva jabloka, pjat' jablok
*[[:Category:Inactive Classics Authors]]
    one apple, two apples, five apples
*[[:Category:Inactive History Authors]]
(data from Cienki).  Other nouns, though, exhibit the opposite behavior:
*[[:Category:Inactive Literature Authors]]
    odin dom, dva doma, p'at' domov
*[[:Category:Inactive Philosophy Authors]]
    one house, two houses, five houses
*[[:Category:Inactive Religion Authors]]
(data from Bar-Lev).  The issue is further complicated by the fact that these
*[[:Category:Inactive Architecture Authors]]
morphemes are, after all, fusional (as Ringe notes)."
