The case markers given below can be added
to nouns marked for plural, in which case the final retroflex lateral ª
l shows up. Nouns with final morphophonemic changes (sec. ??) do not
exhibit these changes before the plural, but nouns ending in ǣ am
change this to Çõ ang before plural.In ST this is not as
serious in transliteration as it is in Tamil script, i.e. in script we must
have ¾Àõ´ rather than *¾À£õ´, but in transliteration we will just
have maranga `trees', phonetically [m '025
r '025

ga].
