Question

There must be something I don’t understand about dictionaries. I have the following code:

NSArray *keys=[[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"first person singular", @"second person singular", @"third person singular", @"first person plural", @"second person plural", @"third person singular", nil];
//This array logs a count of 6.

NSMutableArray *endingsPossible = [[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"iar", @"iēris", @"iētur", @"iēmur", @"iēminī", @"ientur", nil];  
//This array logs a count of 6.

NSDictionary *setOfEndings = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:endingsPossible forKeys:keys];  
//This dictionary logs a count of 5.

How is one of the members getting lost?

Answer 1

“third person singular” key is repeated twice.
