Datapoint Afrikaans/Occurrence of nominal plural markers
There is one exception to the invariant plural marking: goed which may mean 'things'. Goed is an unmarked plurale tantum. Thus: twee goed = 'two things'. It also occurs in compounds, as the head noun where it assumes a collective and thus singular meaning (as in Dutch). In die kleingoed meaning 'the children', goed may be interpreted both as a plural and also as a collective marker.
