Note
A regular plural: the final -y of delivery becomes -ies, as it does after any consonant. What it counts depends on which delivery is meant. It can mean rounds of conveying, the items brought, births, or a pitcher's throws, and each of these can be counted. One spelling serves them all, so only context tells a midwife's deliveries from a courier's.
