There is no grammatical number at all in Lojban.

There is no gender in Lojban. "he", "she", and "it" are all expressed the same 
way, which could be "ko'a", "fo'a", any of the other 8 in the series, "ri", 
"ra", "ru", "ti", "ta", "tu", or a lervla. "our" could be "mi'o", "mi'a", or 
"ma'a", depending on clusivity; it is placed between the article and the 
selbri, or in a pe-phrase afterward.

"because" can be "ri'a", "seja'e", "ni'i", or "ki'u". "has" can be "ponse" or 
"tolcau", or can be translated by various brivla depending on what is had. 
"be" is "du", but the English word has other uses. "for" needs context to be 
translated.
