Note
The -s marks separate pieces. The bread works both ways: you can buy some pita, uncountable, or three pitas, counted as individual rounds or pouches, and only the counted use takes the plural. The same spelling also covers the agave fiber used for cordage and paper, and the plants that yield it. There pitas usually means plants or kinds of fiber rather than strands, and context rarely leaves the meaning in doubt.
