Note
A regular plural, formed with -s, that carries every use of the singular with it: men and boys, bulls and stags, male plants, bacteria carrying the F factor, even the plug-ended halves of connectors and pipe fittings. One use exists only in the plural, as an alternative form of Maale, so there the word stands without any singular behind it.
