In Gujarati there are two vachans namely ekavachan and bahuvachan - Singular and Plural. The plural termination is universally -o, though this ending is not always required to denote plurality.
Most words ending in a form their plural by changing a into o,
eg., માણશ(maaNaS - man) - માણશો (maaNaSo - men)
Most words ending in o and Um form their plurals by changing their terminations into aa and aaM, as ghodo a horse, ghodaa horses, kutaro, kutanoon, a dog, kutaraam dogs.
