Well, I didn't want you to get too cocky, so I included a trick question.
They are all correct except for {peng}, whose normal plural is the irregular
{cha}. {pengmey} has the special meaning "torpedoes all over the place."
You've proved that it was just lack of practice and not of understanding
that caused the other plural errors, and you've broken your habit of
forgetting about {-mey}. maj. Turn every new concept into a simple
practice exercise until it's all simple, including making a speech in fluent
Hol. :)
