Governmental concord does not appear only in the company of ordinary concord. Menomini nouns are inflected for number, while numerals are uninflected words. It is the habit to use the singular of a noun with the word for “one”, but the plural with the word for “two”, “three”, and so on. This is governmental concord: the numeral governs the number-inflection of the accompanying noun.
