A few examples:

halon (window) –> halonot (there was a band in the 1960s, I believe, that was called “Ha-halonot ha-gevohim,” “The High Windows”)

ilan (tree) –> ilanot (Naomi Shemer played with these kinds of words in her song “The Nature Protection Waltz”)

halom (dream) –> halomot

Here endeth the lesson.
