Datapoint Palenquero/Generic noun phrases in subject function

While the bare singular noun phrase can (and often does) express generic noun phrases in subject function, that same function is frequently also expressed with the plural article present. Thus:

hende ri Palengue
ma hende ri Palengue

can both have the generic meaning of 'Palenqueros (in general)'.

That said, the phenomenon needs to be studied in greater depth.
