Singular-to-plural transformation strategy
Transform the head noun and every agreeing word, then restore lexical noun stress.
- Do not change only the final word. A complete noun phrase is an agreement network.
- но́вый дом → но́вые дома́
- но́вая кни́га → но́вые кни́ги
- но́вое окно́ → но́вые о́кна
- си́нее мо́ре → си́ние моря́
- хоро́ший друг → хоро́шие друзья́
- большо́й го́род → больши́е города́
- Retrieval method: Say the singular and plural as a contrast pair. This strengthens gender in the singular and gender-neutral agreement in the plural.
