When we consider number marking on verbs, we usually think of marking of plurality of the subject (and/or the object). However, TİD does not have a general plural marker for the verb, and it does not have morphemes that distinguish 1st person plural, 2nd person plural, and 3rd person plural from their singular counterparts. Rather, the number (or plural) concepts that are marked are dual, multiple and exhaustive.
