Hungarian does not appear to have a plural if you look at sentences involving
``az alm@'{a}k''. Since @code{ngettext} has to support both types of sentences,
it is classified here, under ``two forms''.
+The same holds for Turkish: ``1 apple'' is ``1 elma'', and ``123 apples'' is
+``123 elma''. But when the number is omitted, the distinction between singular
+and plural exists: ``the apple'' is ``elma'', and ``the apples'' is
+``elmalar''.
