Hi, I'm working on a new language pair English -Santali pair and trying to
learn everyday how can i improve this pair. Today I had a few doubts.

Doubt 1: Plural rules are not working when translating from English to
Santali, The English plural form "Cows" returns output " ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ " instead
of "ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ ᱠᱤᱱ/ ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ ᱠᱚ" . I have set up paradef but no luck. How to
get the correct output??

The correct forms are as follows
Cow = ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ
Cows = ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ ᱠᱤᱱ  or Two Cows = ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ ᱠᱤᱱ
Cows = ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ ᱠᱚ

My Santali Monolingual Dictionary link:
https://github.com/Prasanta-Hembram/apertium-sat

English-Santali Bilingual Dictionary link :
https://github.com/Prasanta-Hembram/apertium-eng-sat

echo "cows" | apertium -d . eng-sat-transfer

returns wrong output: ^ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ<pl>$^sent<SENT>{^᱾<sent>$}$






<pardef n="ᱰᱟᱹᱝᱜᱽᱨᱤ__n">
<e>       <p><l></l>          <r><s n="n"/><s n="sg"/></r></p></e>
<e>       <p><l>ᱠᱤᱱ</l>          <r><s n="n"/><s n="du"/></r></p></e>
<e>       <p><l>ᱠᱚ</l>         <r><s n="n"/><s n="pl"/></r></p></e>
    </pardef>

Thanks
with best regards
