Notes about special usage of a word sometimes appear (in italics) after the definition. In Kriol, a noun is usually pluralized by following it with the word dehn, but in some cases 's' (or 'z') are used, following the English system of pluralization. Often in these cases, the plural form is used for both the singular and the plural, or vice versa. Example: aans (ants.) (Both sg. & pl.)
