The word mang is used when the warrior under discussion is described in terms of his membership in a fighting unit (for example, as a crewmember on an attack cruiser). Perhaps for this reason it is sometimes translated as "soldier." The usual plural form of mang is a different word altogether: negh ("warriors, soldiers"). The word mangpu' is seldom used, but it is not ungrammatical. It carries with it the notion that there are individuals (more than one mang) making up the group; negh focuses on the group as a unit.
La palabra mang se usa cuando el guerrero en discusiĆĀ³n se describe en tĆĀ©rminos de su pertenencia a una unidad de combate (por ejemplo, como tripulante en un crucero de ataque). QuizĆĀ”s por esta razĆĀ³n a veces se traduce como "soldado". La forma plural habitual de mang es una palabra completamente diferente: negh ("guerreros, soldados"). La palabra mangpu' se usa raramente, pero no es gramaticalmente incorrecta. Conlleva la idea de que hay individuos (mĆĀ”s de uno mang) que componen el grupo; negh se centra en el grupo como una unidad.
