For this reason they do not have a native plural ending and speakers sometimes use a foreign plural sv -s or alternatively -sar, which can be regarded either as a double plural suffix (-s + sv -ar) or one unit. Alternatively -s- can be seen as an epenthetic consonant inserted to avoid vowel hiatus, i.e. *avokadoar > avokadosar. This suffix is especially common when forming the definite plural by adding sv -na, as this ending cannot be added onto -s alone. For this reason, some speakers might say avokados in the plural indefinite, but avokadosarna in the plural definite. Generally, this ending alongside -s are proscribed and not used in dictionaries, which usually recommend endings like sv -r or sv -er even after these four unstressed vowels.
