===Hebrew=== In Modern [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]], a [[Semitic language]], most nouns have only singular and plural forms, such as {{lang|he|住驻专}} {{IPA |/藞sefe蕘/}} "book" and {{lang|he|住驻专讬诐}} {{IPA|/sfa藞蕘im/}} "books", but some have distinct dual forms using a distinct dual suffix (largely nouns pertaining to numbers or time, such as {{lang|he|讗诇驻讬讬诐}} {{IPA|/al藞pajim/}} "two thousand" and {{lang|he|砖讘讜注讬讬诐}} {{IPA|/蕛vu藞ajim/}} "two weeks"), some use this dual suffix for their regular plurals (largely body parts that tend to come in pairs, such as {{lang|he|注讬谞讬讬诐}} {{IPA|/ei藞najim/}} "eyes", as well as some that do not, such as {{lang|he|砖讬谞讬讬诐}} {{IPA|/蕛i藞najim/}} "teeth"), and some are inherently dual (such as {{lang|he|诪讻谞住讬讬诐}} {{IPA |/mixna藞sajim/}} "pants" and {{lang|he|讗讜驻谞讬讬诐}} {{IPA|/ofa藞najim/}} "bicycle"). Adjectives, verbs, and pronouns agree with their subjects' or antecedents' numbers, but only have a two-way distinction between singular and plural; dual nouns entail plural adjectives, verbs, and pronouns.
