Description

There were already edge-cases found in this parser (by OSS-Fuzz). Resolving some of these isn't straighforward. A better approach would be to rewrite this parser.
Alternatives are Boost Spirit (V2 & Qi), or even Boost Spirit x3. This is however not the easiest code to work with, and will take some time.

If you are already in that part of the code, maybe you could add multiple plural definitions?

That would help to keep all Plural cases of a language within one file

I will take this into account when rewriting this. This does entail some more changes, so I'm not quite positive that this can be arranged attached to this issue.
Regardless, I will take a look at it.
