Usage notes

• Sometimes, a suppletive plural form boklådor (plural of the near-synonymous boklåda (“bookshop”)) is found. This was previously a recommended plural form, as the normal plural form bokhandlarna can also be the pluralform of bokhandlare (“bookseller”). This recommendation is no longer upheld.
