I hope nobody mistakes this warning for a challenge. :-)

Just for completeness and clarity, I'm going to add some information.
There are a couple of exceptions to this.  When following a noun with
{'ar} "how many? how much?", plural suffixes are *not* supposed to be
used (TKD 6.4, page 70).  And when preceding a noun with {Hoch}, the
presence of an explicit plural suffix gives it the meaning "all", and
the absence of one gives "each" (HolQeD 5:2, page 11).
