Note
One spelling stands in for several unrelated plurals. Beside the psychoanalytic sense, ids can mean identifiers or identity documents, electronic music tracks circulating without an official title, idents, or image descriptions posted online. Each of these nouns also has an uncountable use, so the plural fits only where the things can be counted, as in a set of untitled track ids. Context alone tells the reader which noun is meant.
