The English language contains many words where the plural form is shorter than the singular. Most of these are words we have taken from foreign languages. The archetypical example is Latin words ending in -um; the plural ends in -a. e.g. datum - pl. data ; erratum - pl errata ; stratum - pl. strata ; (e.g. stands for exemplum gratum, meaning example given. pl -exempla grata)
