Note
The plural does most of its own work in the sense of doubt. A limiting qualification or concern usually appears as reservations, as when someone has or voices reservations about a plan. The same form can also name several tracts of land that the US government set apart for Native American peoples. When either reading is possible, the surrounding words settle which one is meant.
