Note
A regular -s plural, used wherever the noun is counted rather than treated as a mass. Every meaning of the singular allows both uses, so the plural singles out separate instances: individual shares, distinct legal apportionments, separate handouts in several villages, or several arrangements compared side by side. When one ongoing process or state is meant, the uncountable singular is the better choice.
