If we're allowed to span languages:

le
les
less

la
las
lass

Spanning languages and use of colloquialisms.

On the French and Spanish...
It can be argued that articles themselves are not actually plural but have a form the identifies a plural noun.

I am not saying you are wrong. Just that I think we can do better.

Do better, do better!

Although mas and pas made me laugh...

All right, fine, I'll do better when I feel like spending more than three seconds doing this.

That still would have only been singular and plural, how did you make it singular again??


Hint: The word, when it turns singular again, doesn't need to have the same meaning as the original word. I am making this TOO easy now. sheesh.

Good job Pasa, the bra one is right The others aren't because it can't be a name....


Any more?

[Arvestaked]

Actually I think "Earle" is also a title but I do not know if it is spelled the same way.

And "bra" is technically short for "brassiere"; I am surprised it counts.
