Note
The final -y of identity becomes -ies, and the plural appears wherever identities can be counted. It covers the personas someone presents to the world or has stolen, the several group selves a migrant may carry, and in mathematics the equations that hold for every choice of variable. When the meaning is plain sameness, English usually keeps the singular: a question of identity, not of identities.
