Note
A regular plural that carries every meaning of the singular, so the surrounding words do the sorting. Walnut cabinets are furniture, arcade cabinets house coin-operated games, and in historical usage cabinets were also a size of photograph. In the political sense the plural counts whole advisory bodies, such as several governments' cabinets resigning, and never the individual advisors who sit in one.
