Note
A plural that only some of the noun's meanings can take. It counts the notes prefixed to a work as tokens of respect, and the ceremonies that mark an opening or completion, as in three building dedications in a week. The state of being dedicated stays singular: a nurse shows great dedication, never dedications. The surrender of rights to property can be counted either way.
