This 1978 linguistic monograph by L. Ghvinjilia offers a comprehensive comparative analysis of the morphological processes involved in pluralizing nouns within the Dargwa and Lak languages. The text provides a deep dive into the internal logic of these North Caucasian languages, including the arrangement of various suffixes, stem changes, and the role of noun classes in determining plural forms. As part of the prestigious research output of the Georgian Institute of Linguistics, this work serves as a vital primary source for documenting the structural similarities and differences between these two distinct branches of the Dagestanian language family.  Ghvinjilia meticulously examines historical developments and contemporary dialectal variations, providing a rigorous framework for understanding the evolution of Dagestanian nominal morphology. With a limited print run of only 700 copies, this "Metsniereba" edition is a rare and essential resource for caucasiologists, morphological typologists, and scholars of Ibero-Caucasian linguistics.
