If you didn't already get how to pluralize Fengati nouns and adjectives, then let's explain it more completely, with explanations and examples.
In Fengati, plural is made by replacing a vowel slot with a "ü". Let's see what a vowel slot is and how to find one in a word :
A vowel slot is a "slot" in a word where you can replace a vowel with a "ü".
For example, in the (naked) word "falen" (moth), here are the vowel slots : falen_. By putting an underscore at the end, where the last letter of a naked word isn't a vowel, I indicate that these are all the possible plurals for "falen" :
Fülen, falün, falenü.
See ? Each slot can be filled with a "ü", but only one at a time. If the last letter of the word is a vowel, then you still have a third slot, this time in the form of the last vowel, and not the place where you could put on. If you didn't get it all, don't worry.

Now let's take a look at some special cases :
The word "jaa" (day) seems to have two vowel slots. Right ? Well, no, because "aa" is considered as a single letter. That's also why "jaa" is a naked word and can't get +1 vowel at the end, but whatever.
If the "aa" is one letter, then how do I pluralize it, you ask me ? Simply replace the first "a" in "aa" with a "ü". "Üa" ; "jüa" (days). Same for :
ee -> üe
ii -> üi
oo -> üo
uu -> üu
Got it ? Now, to see if you got it all, let's pluralize. Find all possible plurals for these words :
Angatlert (English) | Franzatl (France) | Jaa | Jaak (day's date) | Falena | Buz
Bumbas (bomb) | Vulkan (volcano) | Taarb (BBQ)
