-- TODO Make most proper nouns more similar to nouns:
|

-- (1) given names GN should have both numbers (to fit with Tēzaurs and to be
|

-- able to express that there are multiple people in the room with the
|
||||
-- same name)
|

-- (2) family names SN being inflected on gender doesn't fit neither with
|
||||
-- Tēzaurs, nor with the fact that for some masc surnames there are
|
||||
-- multiple legaly valid fem variants
|
||||
-- (3) if PN is meant to be generic proper noun, it might also be inflected
|
||||
-- in number
|
||||
-- In general Latvian tends to make every noun inflectable in all cases/numbers,
|
||||
-- the plural-only placenames like "Cēsis" is the one very stable exception.
