The Nominative Plural


  The regular nominative plural in Russian is created by the following formula:
1 If the stem ends -o/e or -ÍÑreplace final vowel with -Á/Ñ
2 If the stem ends -ÍÑreplace final vowel and consonant with -ÅÎ-Á
3 If the nominative singular ends on -ÉÎremove the -ÉÎ and add -e
4 Otherwise (remove any vowel and) add -Ù|É
