USAGE NOTES
* There is some difference of opinion regarding the use of apostrophes in the pluralization of references to letters as symbols. _New Fowler's Modern English Usage_, after noting that the usage has changed, states at page 602 that "after letters an apostrophe is obligatory." The 15th edition of _The Chicago Manual of Style_ states at paragraph 7.16, "To avoid confusion, lowercase letters ... form the plural with an apostrophe and an s". The _Oxford Style Manual_ at page 116 advocates the use of common sense.

* them (feminine plural third-person personal pronoun)
USAGE NOTES
The third-person direct object pronouns _o_, _os_, _a_, and _as_, have variant forms prefixed with _l-_ or _n-_. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The _l-_ forms (e.g. _las_) are used when the preceding word ends in _-r_ or _-s_. The _n-_ forms (e.g. _nas_) are used when the preceding word ends in a _-u_ or a diphthong. These alternative forms are then suffixed to the preceding word.
In all other situations, the standard forms of the pronouns are used (_o_, _os_, _a_, _as_) and are _not_ suffixed to the preceding word.
These direct object pronouns also form contractions when they immediately follow an indirect object pronoun. For example, _Dou che as_ ("I gave you them.") contracts to _Dou chas._
