Note
The -s form keeps its y, as verbs ending in a vowel plus y do: convey, conveys, never conveies. One spelling serves every living meaning of the verb: a pipe moving gas, a tone making something known, an owner transferring legal rights to a buyer. Used of carrying a person, it now sounds dated. Its old sense of stealing something away is obsolete.
