jem
/dʒem/
fodder, feed, animal food, especially grain fed to livestock — One dictionary also glosses it more broadly as food. In the proverb it cites, an old horse becomes jem for the crows, which is still food eaten by animals.
- malğa jem berirge — to give fodder to the cattle
- atlağa jem aşat — feed the horses fodder
- atlağa jem berdim — I gave feed to the horses
- jem hazırlarğa — to prepare fodder
- qışha jem hazırladıq — we prepared fodder for the winter
- qarğalağa jem bolur — it becomes feed for crows

There is no plural of this word. The ending would attach like any other — it is the word, not the grammar, that refuses: this is not something Karachay counts.
The endings are the same ones the pronouns wear — that page explains when each case is used.
