That's peng/cha
Yes, there are more. I don't have a complete list. jengva'/ngop and
mang/negh come to mind.
There is also {Duj}, when it means instincts. A bit of a special case. It
can be singular or plural, like any other noun: {Duj tIvoqtaH} - "always
trust your instincts," or can be a plural collective noun: {DujlIj yIvoq}
"trust your instincts."
