dudu
Hey, do you think the masculine form acquired the -u ending due to influence from Sicilian? Fenakhay (talk) 18:51, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty certain that dudu and duda are only alternative forms, not "masculine worm" versus "feminine worm". (How would you even know the gender of a worm.) Compare bżar, which I added today, where the singulative is "bżaru" or "bżara". But etymologically I think you're right that this -u as a singulative marker must be from the Sicilian masculine ending (by anology with -a). Another word where the singulative is formed in -u is bebbux. 90.186.83.214 18:59, 18 December 2019 (UTC)
