*************************************


some nouns undergo a little internal transformation in the plural. They loose their first vowel and or change their second one. This is actually quite frequent and it needs to be learned by heart which is actually a lot easier than it sounds because with a little repetition it all becomes second nature. 

sefer -  sfarim
davar - dvarim
