جمع الكثرة

Arabic features a special plural form called "minor plural" (جَمْع الْقِلّة), used for small numbers (3-10), contrasting with the "major plural" (جَمْع الْكَثْرة) for larger quantities. This article clarifies when to use forms like أَشْهُر vs. شُهُور for "months" and provides rules and examples for these distinct plural patterns, often overlooked but present in classical texts.
