New Minor Noun Declensions

I created a couple of minor declensions for Shonkasika nouns.

Instead of forming its indefinite dual in –bre and its indefinite dual in –bi like most animate nouns, a few animates form them in –ndre and –ni respectively:

thoges, thogendres, thogenis ox, two oxen, oxen
hiros, hirondres, hironis chicken, two chickens, chickens
podis, podindres, podinis child, two children, children

Some inanimate nouns, including all ending –ye, form its indefinite dual in –, and indefinite plural in –ú, with a stress shift to the last syllable, instead of the normal endings of –ri and –i without stress shift:

glaina, glainarú, glaináu eye, two eyes, eyes
plesto, plestorú, plestóu ear, two ears, ears
faspu, faspurú, faspwó leg, two legs, legs
