Category talk:English plurals ending in "-ies"

The word "congeries" is interesting because it is very rare to have a singular noun that ends with "-ies". Are there other English words like this? Also the singular form and plural form are the same, but that occurs in more words. Stolkin (talk) 22:44, 25 July 2020 (UTC)

The main page says "Some sources consider these plurals to be irregular." What sources are those? That seems very strange. Almost all singular nouns that end with "-y" have the plural form that ends with "-ies". There are more than 6000 in this list. There are very few where the singular ends with a consonant followed by a -y where the plural is made by adding an "-s"; those are the irregular forms. Stolkin (talk) 23:01, 25 July 2020 (UTC)
