The word ''daut'' has an irregular plural. In Badul, plurals end in ''-an'' but this word's plural ends in a ''u''. This dates back to Ucerian, where nouns with the -u stem had the accusative singular plural suffix of ''-u''. For some reason it took over its nominative counterpart ''-ae''. It kept this old plural construction due to its high usage and even when the regular plural suffix changed it was still kept and using the new plural suffix didn't feel correct. | The word ''daut'' has an irregular plural.
