Preliminary Recommendations

Number

Attribute Value Pt. example Pt. tag
Number singular rapaz
plural rapazes
invariant

The value invariant is not explicitly used in the Portuguese GENELEX model, though the nominal inflectional patterns built in the framework of this project implicitly make use of it for nouns such as, for instance, `(o/os) atlas', `(a/as) sandes'. For Portuguese this value can be a L2a value.
