Comment:
The similative/associative plural (SIML) involves the same marker of additive plurality, viz. tud (also a universal quantifier), although in a different position relative to the head noun. Whereas tud precedes the head noun in plural reference, it occurs immediately after the noun in a similative/associative plural.
