Note
A regular plural, and the -s tells you which word you are reading. Only the noun, meaning one who lives forever, can take it. The adjective behind it (eternal truths, eternal youth) never changes form, so eternals always names beings, never qualities. Its closest synonym is immortals, and it pairs naturally with mortals as its opposite.
