Suffix used to pluralize nouns and adjectives, generally masculine ones referring to people.

Creates single-digit multiples of ten:-ty
‎خَمْسَة(ḵamsa,“five”) + ‎ـُونَ(-ūna) → ‎خَمْسُونَ(ḵamsūna,“fifty”)

This suffix is mostly restricted toparticiples,nisbas, and certain nouns of other building types such as the measureفَعَّال(faʕʕāl). Only a handful of nouns not referring to people use this suffix, e.g.سِنُونَ(sinūna) fromسَنة(sana,“year”). Most other nouns havebroken plurals or use the “feminine” suffixـَات(-āt). Note that borrowed nouns tend to use the latter even when they refer to people, e.g.بَهْلَوانَات(bahlawānāt) fromبَهْلَوان(bahlawān,“acrobat”).
