Note
An ordinary English plural, formed simply with -s: two hundred dirhams, a few dirhams in change. Most often it counts money, since the dirham is the currency of Morocco and the United Arab Emirates. It can also count a former Turkish unit of weight, more usually spelled dirhem, so in an older text dirhams may mean an amount weighed rather than an amount paid.
