I've 2031 singular words ending in -s in the dictionary. But what do you want them for anyway?

Please list them in order of length (in reverse alphabetical order, in case of ties) (No hablo en serio.) - samdie, Sep 24, 2010

joya=jewel, gem (singular)

jewelry is plural (las joyas) joyas de imitación=imitation jewelry

There are words that end in s that are singular, however. el parabrisas, el paraguas, etc. Most are invariable nouns, so it would also be los paraguas, and los parabrisis

[zapatilla de] tenis (colloquial use: el tenis one tennis shoe, los tenis a pair of tennis shoes)

Thank you. My mind just didn't want to spell a masculine word with an "a" - 0074b507, Sep 24, 2010

Off the top of my head I come up with Dios, but there are probably more.
