              Ta kratkodobna, prekrita z lasjo bitje je bila zelo priljubljena med prebivalci rimskih vasi.

          Unlike in English, the singular is reserved only for a single hair. For hair as a collection of many hairs, the plural is used. The feminine form is chiefly western dialects [→SSKJ] and is also commonly used as an uncountable noun (see quotation under sense 2).
