Editing English plurals (section)

==== Other voiceless consonants ====
In most English varieties, there are five non-sibilant voiceless consonants that occur at the end of words: {{IPAc-en|p}}, {{IPAc-en|t}}, {{IPAc-en|k}}, {{IPAc-en|f}}, and {{IPAc-en|θ}}; some varieties also have {{IPAc-en|x}}. When the singular form ends in a [[voice (phonetics)|voiceless]] [[consonant]] other than a sibilant, the plural is normally formed by adding {{IPAc-en|s}} (a voiceless sibilant). The spelling adds ''-s'':

Some that end in {{IPAc-en|f}} or {{IPAc-en|θ}}, however, are "near-regular". See section below.
