Each facet in the AAT has rules guiding which par

t of speech or other fo

rm of the term should

be used for the descriptors in

that facet in English.

For example, in the Objects Facet, each descripto

r in English is the pl

ural form of the noun and

the alternate descriptor is the singular form.Rules may vary for other languages.
