Note
A regular plural that serves every meaning of the singular at once: inscribed slabs of clay or stone, pills, pads of paper, graphics tablets, tablet computers, and the short scriptures of the Baháʼí Faith. The spelling never tells them apart, so the surrounding words do the work. Clay tablets, take two tablets and a classroom cart of tablets each settle the meaning, and a modifier is the quickest way to rule out a misreading.
