The draft plural seems to have been formed mainly with a short suffixal -i, as opposed to the later plural inflection long -î-, most noticeable in the draft plural bāri (SD/438) of bâr “lord” (later plural form bârî). The draft plural suffix -i seemed to alter other short vowels to which is came in contact, such as azra “sea” → azrē “seas” (SD/311). Draft case inflections seem to have been added to this plural form, with special plural inflections in most cases.
