• This term is most commonly found in its construct form, ܟܠ‎ (kul, “all-of”). When this is the case, all agreement — gender, number, person — is with the following noun. For example, ܟܠܲܢ‎ (kullan, “all-of-us, everyone”) is plural, first-person, and usually masculine (but it will be feminine if it's referring to a specific group, all of whose members are women).
• Colloquially, it is often pronounced as IPA^(key): [kud.] when it carries the meaning of "each".
